For the last 2 weeks in Dec 2019, my site has received 80 new customer signups. Bogus first name, sir name, no address, etc . The only legitimate info are their Email addresses
When I search their IP addresses the addresses are recorded as BAD. What should I do next
Cheers
Rob
Sounds like fake spam acounts which is covered many times on the forum. Install CIDRAM as it will help block signups from known bad sources.

It's not the be all and end all in site security but it helps. I also use Crawlprotect on my OC sites. Yes it's an oldie and not currently being developed as far as I know but it is still a great tool for blocking nefarious probes and SQL Injections.
