Reply To: Spam flood after latest update?

From my experience, yeah, I’d be suspicious of the update first, not “the internet got worse overnight” or whatever. Seen this a few times where a plugin update quietly loosens one hook or misses a form endpoint, and suddenly the garbage pours in. Logs will tell you pretty quick if it’s the same IPs/ASNs and the same signup path getting hit over and over. If it’s random junk rotating constantly, that’s a different headache.
