Problem With Bots

I got product inquiry / ask question feature from product page since last week started to get spam, bot bypasses image verification, later reCAPTCHA, even reCAPTCHA 2 from simtechdev..

Bot is

http://botscout.com/ipcheck.htm?ip=46.161.9.24&page=564

that originates from Russia.

As soon as I allow support in via ftp strange things start to happen? Or am I paranoid?

I guess many of us are facing the same BOT issues. For me it started after upgrading to version 4.4.1.

Re-Captcha 2 from Simtech has been installed on my site and so far so good. Will check and get back in a few days.

I don't think it has anything to do support, but then again. You are dealing with Russians )))

Many Cs-Cart users faced BOT problems in the beginning of 2017.

It is not a surprising fact that your bot has Russian IP. See the 10 worst spam countries.

Same here, product reviews and the were bypassing my captcha, I increased the shadow and it stopped

Same problem on all cs-cart sites here. So you're being paranoid. It's just a coincidence.

Ahh, maybe it was the way you tied your shoe laces that same morning, or what you had for breakfast,,,,,watch our Darius, were all comin for ya :mrgreen:

One time support left 3rd party apps db editor like phpmyadmin, found it days or weeks later job was reported as complete… last time i was dealing with very inexperienced support member who later was remplaced with excuse so my worries are not over nothing…

Same problem here. But what is the solution to reduce (eliminate) this onslaught?

We are already using Captcha.

Tx in advance
