CF7 captcha + recent spam

  • I’ve been using your plugin with several of my websites and CF7 for at least 12 months .. I switched over after the CF7 built in captcha broke on me.

    The ability to use it on my login screen at least helped make me feel a little safer but lately I wonder.

    I am using the following tag in my contact forms :
    [anr_nocaptcha g-recaptcha-response]

    In the last 2 days I’ve noticed several spam emails coming in from the contact form mentioned above in the “link” field.
    Are the bots just getting smarter and have they learned how to defeat the recaptcha?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • It is very hard to tell.
    Is it human spam or bot?
    How many daily visitors you have? Have many contact form submit you get daily? How many spam you are getting daily? Is it only from one website or you are getting from every website you have?

    My websites are fairly low traffic – I don’t get many “contact forms”, but it seems like the few I have gotten in the past several weeks have all been spam
