Hello,
We have a large number of bot registrations despite the re-captcha. Re-captcha is set-up and appears to be working fine. However, the bots are still getting through. I installed the Blackhole for Bad Bots plugin, but it’s not helping either.

We are using Event Espresso Version 3.1.37.11.P
Please advise.

Hi there,
That’s strange. It’s possible the bots have found a way to bypass the Recpathca. Sometimes it takes the Recaptcha system a few days to create a new algorithm to prevent bypassing the checks. Do you happen to know when this started?

It started in November. In December I replaced the ReCaptcha hoping that would help. I installed Blackhole for Bad Bots on Friday. Saturday, I had five bot registrations.

Hi there,
Can you check with your host to see if they can enable ModSecurity on your server?
