RC3 Security Loophole?

[ftforum]

In the past 10 days I have recieved approximately 20 spam registrations. My security system for reg includes the highest level of captcha / code verification. I do not have the questions enabled though. These people are getting past the SMF security features it seems.

I doubt this is a bug.

It doesn't have to be a bot registering.

I've heard of company's that pay PEOPLE to register and post these in a forum.

I wouldn't call it a bug aswell. It is quite possible that those are humans or bots backed up by human verification of Captcha.

Have a look through other spam prevention modifications and try installing them if that helps: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=search;type=19

I moved this over to 2.0 support board as this isn't a bug.

The registrations seem too automated to be human influenced if you ask me, but just thought I would bring it to peoples attention.

Yeah, it is probably spam bots. Have you tried to setup some anti bot measurements? Take a look at FLAMER's post.
