Uptick In Contact Spam

I have had a sharp uptick in Contact Us spam in the last two weeks or so. Is anyone else seeing this? Can something be done within Sytist to combat this?

Thanks in advance.

nothing you can really do, recaptcha is your only defence. Limit you input box's. If you start blocking Ip address they just switch to another. Require all fields to be filled out.

I should also add with AI now in the game, nothing will work to defend against spam. It will learn to read a page and manipulate the page. It will understand math and picture questions.

Thank you Vance.

I decided to simply turn off the contact form.

I also implemented some firewall rules block access to this page and the accounts pages. Seems to work for now.
