Feedbaclform 0.9.12 hacked???

Post by Gregor »

Hi All,

Last night I got 46 e-mails via the feedbackform of my website www.uisge-beatha.eu Although the text varies, I got the following e-mail:

Code: Select all

Form Name: Reactieformulier
Submission Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2006 07:56:50 +0200
Submission Host: www.uisge-beatha.eu
Submission Source: 201.0.4.148
-------------------------------
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Does anyone got spam via the feedbackform? Suggestion to create an 'unwanted words' list that is manageble from the Admin-menu?

If anyone wants to test or so, for the time being I disabled the possiblity to send e-mails from the site.

Greetz,
Gregor

You scared me with that title! I had visions of people's machines being taken over...

I'm entering "Captcha" as a feature request for the FormBuilder, which could potentially cut down on this kind of problem.

Also, in FormBuilder, you can require an email validation, which would also presumably cut down on spam (or at least give you an actual working email address that the spammers use/used).
Many modules available from the http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org
The CMS Made Simple Developer Cookbook is now available from Packt Publishers!

Not meant to scare you. At least I got attention :)

I have every field defined as required, including the e-mail check. This is why I find it pretty scarry.

Your solution sounds good. Looking forward to his feature.
