Sweet Captcha no longer deterring spam

  • Hello – we’ve been using your plugin for a year or so and it’s worked really well but this last Wednesday, the 27th, we’ve been getting flooded with spam, we get about 1 new spam user every 5-10 minutes and then tons of spam once they’re registered. Nothing had changed on that day in our server. The only thing i’ve done at this point is upgrade the plugin to the latest version.

    We’re a big social site and are sort of in a mission critical situation here – if you could take a look at this we’d greatly appreciate it.

    Hi snarkypuppet,

    Please make sure you are using your latest version of sweetCaptcha,
    (we did some bug fixes on our last version that fixed comparability issues
    with “contact form 7” plugin)

    If still you have issues, please drop us a mail at
    [email protected]

    Best,
    Lara.

    Do not install the latest version. It contains hidden ad injection that spams your users with hidden popups. #sweetcaptchafail

    DO NOT INSTALL THIS PLUGIN! It is now sending spam. My hosting accounts have all disabled it on my sites and that is how I found out about the issues. Do your research and look up all the reviews. They have changed and are now major league spammers. DO NOT INSTALL THIS ON YOUR SITE.
