Default 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?

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

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
