Title: Something is trying to hack my photo gallery
Post by: colinmann on November 29, 2007, 07:31:49 AM
Hi,

You've got to register to access my photo gallery & for the past few weeks people have been trying to hack it... why is this?

For instance I receive requests to review: vdj7o7f, polycomzzw, vniy694......... it looks like these have been made up by a machine. Can I stop these from occurring or can I only block the IP address?

Thanks in advance  ???

Those are bots trying to register for spam purposes. You hardly can keep them from registering. You might want to look into the captcha mods/plugin.
