Hi, guys... I'm been running my first eCommerce setup with a donation page/form using Authorize.net.
Things have been running fine, excepts for spammers using the donation form to find legitmate CC numbers so they could abuse the card in other ways. I've assumed, up to this point, that the spammers are bots, not humans. The spam attempts happened every 15-30 seconds for about an hour, then they stop. Very few are able to successfully process a transaction, but I'm trying to stop the form from being submitted. I've tried honey-pot traps, then moved to CF's captcha (at its default level of difficulty). So far, the spam attempts keep coming and my client is wondering if they need to get someone (besides me) to handle the donations since I can't seem to stop the spam. I realize that if someone is hiring cheap human labor for $1 per day to sit and enter form info, that I can't stop that, but if it is bots doing the spamming, will making CF captcha more difficult to read have a good chance of stopping the bots, or do I need to get with reCaptcha. I like using CF's solution, because I can code it myself. But if it doesn't work... Thoughts on this? I've got to get a solution working. Thanks for any feedback!
