Hello the Support Team,

I noticed that more than 5000 client accounts were created on my website with fake emails.
There must be something wrong somewhere.

Can you please help me? I tried to erase the counts but there are so many it takes ages… and that does not fix the original problem.

Many thanks,
Carine

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Hello @Andrew Mitchell

Thank you for your expertise. reCAPTCHA v3 was already set on my website.

I activated the Wordfence Security plugin.

I also deleted the 5000 fake accounts!

I’ll let you know if I experience a new bot attack.

Best regards,
Carine
