Spam customer signups on login/signup page

**DML73** · 4 Jun 2019, 08:29 AM

I keep getting a lot of customer spam signups on my login/signup page similar to the image attached. I do have the reCAPTCHA "I'm not a robot" plugin installed and enabled on the login/signup page, but somehow the spammers/spiders apparently can bypass that.

Is there a better plugin than the reCAPTCHA? or how can I avoid all these spam signups?

I am having the same problem with zencart 1.5.6. I have tried everything but nothing seems to work. I am doing some research now ill let you know if I come up with anything. If anyone else has a suggestions please let us know.

FWIW, I've been using Access Blocker (support-thread here: https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....Support-Thread) and, coordinating updates to my .htaccess to deny frequent violators, have reduced my contact-us spam and spam account-creation significantly.

Your mileage may vary!

There been some post of this before and some answers here at post #22 https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....highlight=spam

One thing, Google CAPTCHA version 2 was hacked some time back, version 3 I think is the current yet to be.... I'm not sure what version the plugin uses..

I use non-CAPTCHA and as @lat9 suggested, I block frequent violators IP's too. Heavy modified zc156b and no issues.
