Support

Hi,

My site is currently flooded with new users that have a name similar to:
Произошла утечка личной информации. Касается Ваших доходов. https://docs.google.com/file/d/1uDsig7q76GaJic86ipteOtE7pdDAV1fv/preview https://docs.google.com/file/d/1uDsig7q76GaJic86ipteOtE7pdDAV1fv/preview (ID #746)

They all have a different IP address and all originating from Russia. Activating the geographic blocking does not work it seems. They all have a @gmail.com account so I'm not able to block these kind of email accounts.

What are they trying to do (Google docs?) how can I prevent these users being created?
PS: I'm using Improved Ajax Login Register to create new users (Social Accounts).

Thank you for your fantastic product and support, it helps my business.

You really can't stop them from creating users, but you can automatically clean up the mess. The Joomla! user creation can be set to self authenticate, the site sends out an email to the new user, they have to click on a link to be activated. Since they are using a fake email address, they never get the email and are never activated. Now go to the System - Admin Tools plugin and set the option there to delete non-activated users after x number of days. I'm not sure if your login module will allow self activation or not.

They try, they fail, their failure goes into the trash, life is good.

Life with Akeeba is good indeed. Thanks for your support!

You're welcome!
