Reply To: Spam flood after latest update?

Could be a wave, but I wouldn’t assume that too fast either. I’ve seen “sudden spam floods” turn out to be one dumb endpoint or form getting abused because the plugin missed a change after an update. If it really kicked off right after the latest update, I’d be checking: – registration source / referral junk – repeat IPs or ASNs – whether the anti-spam plugin is actually still firing on the right hooks – any form that got a little looser after the update Also, half these spam plugins get worse after an update because they start blocking less obvious stuff and let the obvious garbage through anyway. Been there. Annoying as hell. If you want, I can tell you what I’d check first in the logs, but honestly I’d start there before adding more junk filters.
