    Hi, I have CleanTalk, as well as WordFence and reCaptch v3 installed. I still get A LOT of bot registration. The real problem is that they keep requesting password reset, by the hundreds and even thousands every day.

    I already blocked all countries except for USA, Canada, and Mexico.

    Any ideas on how to stop them?

    Hello @cravomarketing

    We have analyzed the requests you marked in your Anti-Spam log.

    We noticed that you use an old version of the CleanTalk Anti-Spam plugin. It causes incorrect filtration.

    Please, update the CleanTalk Anti-Spam wordpress plugin to version 6.12:

    Our update guide is here:

    Does it help?

    Hey @amagsumov, thank you for the quick reply.

    I will be surprised if updating the plugin will solve this. but I will give it a go. I have set it as automatic upodates.

    I will keep you posted if it does not work.

    Thank you!

    HI, in these last 24 hours we had 11 new bots register and they keep requesting password resets. The plugin is updated.

    Last check Jun 28 2023: checked 17 users, found 11 spam users and 0 non-checkable users (without IP and email).

    Any idea what I can do?

    The weird thing is that when a real person registers, like Dimitry just did, I get an email about it. When a bot registers, I do not get one.

    Can they be registering somewhere else besides the My Account page??

    Hello, @cravomarketing

    You can remove them from your site. Our guide is here:
    https://cleantalk.org/help/user-comment-checks-wp

    But we would like to investigate it.

    Is your registration form here https://sandiegorealtyco.com/my-account/? Do you have another page with a registration form? And to register on your site, need to log in via google/facebook, right?

    Hey Dmitriy, I do remove them but dozens of bots register every day and they request hundreds of emails everyday.

    Yes, yuo are correct with your assumptions about registration. However, as I mentioned before “The weird thing is that when a real person registers, like Dimitry just did, I get an email about it. When a bot registers, I do not get one.” SO maybe there is another way they are registering?

    Hello,

    There is no registration form to submit on your website. Registration on your website goes through authorization on FaceBook or Google. Our plugin doesn’t receive any requests in case of logging in on a 3-d party website.

    And yes, I think bots use some vulnerability to register on your website, but we don’t have more information, unfortunately.
