Multiple spam entries

[benglazier]

We have an installation on a fully up to date WordPress site, with Captcha and Sucuri. Every two minutes we are getting spam entries in the form.

Any one else experiencing this? We’ve not seen it before in fully up to date installations.

I can’t believe these are manual entries, so someone must have found a workaround to get through Captcha.

GF is up to date.
All parts of WP are up to date.
All security software is up to date.
Captcha is up to date.

Unfortunately the Gravity Forms Tech support site is down - a WordPress error. (irony)

Spambots commonly target public forms in this way, not just those created with Gravity Forms. The first steps to combating it is to ensure the honeypot and submission speed check features are enabled in the spam detection section of the Form Settings page of the form.

Spam Detection - Form Settings

On the Entries list page, using the column selector, you can enable display of the submission speeds, so you can use the values found in that column to refine the threshold in the form settings.

Submission Speed - Reviewing Spam Submissions

You can find additional spam detection/protection solutions on the following page of the documentation:
