Title: Bubbles component attacked by spam posts...
Post by: ROUBOS on July 06, 2012, 18:45:46

Hi,
the bubbles component has been attacked by spam posts. I deleted them all from phpMyAdmin. My guess is that it was been attacked since there is no security code to be entered with this component.
I noticed that in the Admin pages there is the Elxis Defender and the Flood Blocker. I've never used them and was wondering wether I should enable them.
Is there something I should be aware of before I do? Will this stop such flooding spam messages?

thanks

Regarding Elxis Defender (http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Elxis_Defender), of course you must enable it!

You have to enable it

enabled it and still getting attacked.
Is there another component I could use as a guest book ?

this TopHost is causing so many problems. I wouldn't recommend them for an elxis site ever.

well turned on elxis defender and still getting flooded...
anyother way to create a Guest Book on this site... elxis bubbles gets attacked if it allows every visitor to write a comment.
