Spam users on the up

[BenCurry]

Hi, 

over the last week we have had a high number of spam accounts getting through the defences.  I'm running CAPTCHA2 and have spam def on.  

it seems to come in bouts.  nothing for ages, then 3-4 new accounts each day for the last few weeks.  I've just updated all my security questions (hobby topic related, so you need to know the topic to pass the quiz) but that seems no barrier. 

any more suggestions?

Hi @BenCurry

I personally use CleanTalk.org works great, but the upgrade process is not really nice. You have to delete the plugin, install the new one and configure everything again (5 options or something like this). But that's aside it is doing a really great job keeping spam away. If something goes through, you get bonus credit as a sorry. Support is fast and helpful. So full recommendation from me.

Same here, all south america , all using some version of lol324234@outlook.com for the email and then the username lol324234, but it's gotten past a combo of question/answer and recaptcha2 (and now keycaptcha) 

then the bots post a load of crap in chinese and a few links
