unauthorized registration

Post by Kutsche » Thu Mar 15, 2018 5:51 pm

Hello,

I use the current version 3.8.6 for different pages. The update was on 13.02. Installed.

For about a week I notice unauthorized registrations. Also after the update. This, although there is no possibility for a registration.

Meadow can anyone still register? Is there a security problem here?

Hello Kutsche, welcome to the forum.

You are probably suffering from spammers attack.
In your web hosting service you could check if there is any strange movement, identify malicious ip addresses.
I recommend using extensions to avoid this kind of attacks

Did you disable new user registrations in the options of user manager?
