Topic: Barrage of Chinese accounts

Getting a torrent of signups from China. Apparently banning the country isn't helping. Not sure if I need to upgrade to get rid of them (I am using 2.5.5) but it's immense. Every day it's a dozen more signups. None of them are confirmed, just registration of accounts and I wonder if they are automated. Delete them every day. Wondering if others are getting the same.

Yep it is horrible. I have used the site link below to guide me on updating my htaccess file to block China today, so I will have to wait and see if it works.

May be you should try reCAPTCHA integration to see if it helps too.

Re: Barrage of Chinese accounts

Good suggestion radioact. I think the concern here is that this group of Chinese hackers are specifically nailing this application and see some type of exploit. I'd prefer to have a captcha that allows to ask a series of questions for my demographic that rotates. Those seem to be the most effective.
