Spammers Registering Even After I Turned Registration Off ... How ?
 

Hi guys,

I've been getting spammed with new registrations alot even though I have the normal processes in place to stop them (the popular anti spam plugs etc). However what's really weird now is even if I turn off registration in the VB Admin, spammers are still registering to the site.

How is that even possible ?

When you turn registration off is it really going off? have you tried to register yourself after turning it off?

Have you installed all the latest security patches?

Yes tested it and I can't register atm. I have latest securitys patches installed. Baffled !

PM me a link and i'll have a quick look later today when im at home.

Do you have facebook connect enabled? I'm not sure if disabling registrations stops people from linking to a facebook account.

simom PM sent.

kh99 they Ive disabled facebook connect to see if that helps.

ive long said something is up. My Q&A questions cant be guessed by a bot and they always get in. For years people have said "Oh a human must enter your answer" ya right.

Have you checked the web server logs to see if they're doing it through register.php, or if there's anything strange in the logs?

Maybe you could try this and see if it helps: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=297834
