Bots Getting Smarter? Re: BorisExpress
 

I'm starting to notice bots getting through captcha especially from .ru.

One of them started sending PMs to all of our users so we implemented the ol require a few posts before enabling PMs and today BorisExpress posted a thread. It was all gibberish but it still made a post like it knew it had to make posts before it could send PMs.

Now I'm not even sure if it's a bot or whatever but I search for BorisExpress google style I see that it registered on several boards the same day that it did on my board and several other boards four days before that.

In theory:
Bypasses captcha
Triy to send PMs
If can't send PMs because it has to post first it makes garbage posts.

Anyone else starting to notice this type of activity?
