PrestaShop stpres are a subject of major spam attack recently. The PrestaShop's feature that is affected with this attack is the customer registration form. Spammers / bots creates many fake customer accounts in PrestaShop stores. Because of this we decided to build a solution that will identify SPAM attack and block it. Anti-spam feature we created is a module to block spam that is based on StopForumSpam API service.
What is the StopFormSpam service?
Stop Forum Spam is a free service that records reports of spam on forums, blogs and wikis to name a few. All these records are then made available to developers search and view but most importantly, to access in an automated way to block suspected spammers before they can get in the front door.
