Guest Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 During the last 2 months, I have had a lot of "new" users that are completely bogus. I've actually received a phone call from my merchant account about all the unauthorized transaction attempts. Users are creating names like "ghghghgh" with bogus email addresses, street addresses, cities, and zip codes. I imagine these are real people because they are getting past the captcha, but in version 4, the only security measure that I see is the captcha. I would like some type of enhanced security that matches the users city to a zip code or by requiring a confirmation email. I've seen these on other sites and like the idea. And since I am getting charged for every transaction attempt, I would like to put an end to this. I'm open to any ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 In later versions of CC4, I believe an alternate captcha system was made available: ReCaptcha. If I recall, ReCaptcha actually comes from Google and thus, very expert at thwarting automated image recognition by robo-sign-ups. Does your version of CC4 have the ReCaptcha option? Of course, even this does not stop real humans. There may be a mod for registration confirmation emails. Sorry, though, as I haven't made a complete perusal of the mods available for CC4.
