Yes. There there was a spambot running around the net a few days ago that hit a few hundred websites (including ours). It gained access to hundreds of accounts which it used to spam thousands of PMs to other users by simply using the account username as the account password.

Hello,
I've installed this Mod on Aqua Soft vBulletin Skin. But this MOD is not working properly on this skin. Email filed is ignored from checking and password lenght is showing under reCAPTCHA. I've attached screenshot to let you know about the problem. Any solution for me to fix it? Thank you. It is a great mod.
I am sorry, but I cannot adjust mod for EVERY style. The style you use seem to alter basic vbulletin sizes and positions.

Nice work, this will truly help harden the password system that bit more. Lets hope I dont have too many users currently with the same username and password.
I have installed this on my forum but nothing has changed. I have uploaded the files to the public forum root and i have also installed the plugin as normal but it doesn't working with any browser. Any idea why?
Will i have to enable this mod through the adminCP? (after uploading/installing the plugin).
Hook, in which javascript is injected into a page seem not to be executed on your forum. I don't know the reason. Probably, some other hook is preventing content injection.
