Bots able to spam Personal Text

So as of recently, i have found that even with reCaptcha and security questions i have been having bots get through to my website and spam lots of random links in the personal text option of their profile. I would've never noticed if i didnt start clicking on user's names in the online list.

Here are some examples:
hxxp:purekaoz.com/index.php?action=profile;u=6074 [nonactive]
hxxp:purekaoz.com/index.php?action=profile;u=6072 [nonactive]

Any idea?

Are you sure they're not regular old human spammers?

Turn off the option for newbies to be able to edit their profile. Then after your allowed amount of posts that you specify, they have proven they aren't a spammer. Sounds like human spammers to me too.
