I love this plugin, and it has always blocked 99% of spam submissions. But lately I’ve been bombarded with someone spamming my newsletter subscription forms on several sites. Obviously someone found a loophole, which is usually plugged quite quickly. However, there has been no update to this plugin for 3 months now. Please look into this. Thanks Hi @ianmiddleton , Thank you for your feedback and for being a long-time user of the plugin. We are aware that some sophisticated new spam bots have recently managed to bypass our filters. We are currently working on an update to address this; however, aking extra time to ensure the new measures are fully effective against these latest techniques. We appreciate your patience and will release the update as soon as possible. Hi, I also noticed lately quite a lot of spam account subscriptions. This happens on a HivePress login form in a modal window (theme is a variation of ListingHive ). Not sure if WP Armour actually can work there — let me know, I’m up for contributing and testing. Cheers
