Hello, I have a little problem with bots

Post by Thessaly »

How can I stop this? I want to point out that they are users of my old ones, they are not new registered accounts

Change the user his password and email address
After that you can delete the spam posts.
I have no idea how the can get to the users accounts but I had the same yesterday on one of my boards.

Any ideas, I have had a few accounts over 10 years old posting spam, but they are proper users just not been on for that length of time.
I was hacked many years ago, I'm guessing my date has been out there since the hack?

You should start a new topic rather than posting in a solved one.
