Title: XRumerTest
Post by: pepf on May 25, 2022, 07:38:18 PM
Just checked the error log and found an error from "XRumerTest".  Should I be concerned? I assume that the error means this (whatever it is) did not get in.

Any security related mod recommended to fend off this type of thing?

TIA

you can't stop them from hitting your site -- but you can stop the bots from registering & posting by using the questions feature and/or other anti-spam measures.

Have a look at this article. There are several good mods listed there as well.
