  • SOLVED Spam from Callisto contact form becoming a problem

    Posted 6 years 8 months ago
    • I have started getting a lot of spam through the Callisto contact form. All components of this site are current versions (Gantry 5 Callisto theme) running a php 7.1.18.
      Is there a way to add a captcha or some update to thwart this attack?

    • It won't be Callisto itself that is causing the spam. If you have left the contact form unprotected (no recaptcha) this is the most likely reason. Yes you can obtain recaptcha keys from coogle captcha site and then enter them in the recaptcha plugin and enable recaptcha in global config - this will protect the form.

      I also suggest that you add a good security product to your joomla installation such as Akeeba Admin Tools PRo or RSFirewall.
