I see this excuses often, but with all the security fixes, is the risk to your business and customers safety worth an upgrade?
Now then.. If you did fix the security issues, then its more of an issue with PHP version, if you are not up to version 7.x then nonCAPTCHA would not work. Maybe Google reCAPTCHA, but again you would have to use an older version, but its supper easy to get the hack for it.
Because the hack that's being used to create spam users doesn't use your forms, the fix in NonCAPTCHA makes use of an observer and Regular Expression filter. The filter is set for PHP7.x and may not work below that so you would have to modify to work with your versions of PHP and ZC!
I don't have anything that old to test with so that's about the only info I can offer, maybe someone else can give you more help. Post what version of PHP you are using!
