Contact 7 “is being exploited from out of country IPs”

  • I had weird referral sites: and the message I got from my local site host is “It appears that your contact us email from is being exploited from out of country IPs which is the primary reason for the odd looking statistical data.
    ..That bots that are exploiting the email form on your website are not exploiting it enough to trigger our internal alerting, but I would suggest that you either disable the email form or work on hardening the form to avoid current and future issues.”

    The site in question has Contact Form 7 5.0.2, Contact Form 7 Honeypot 1.13 and Flamingo 1.8.

    Thank you in advance for your timely advice on this situation!
