Receving T ons of Email From Contact Form

Hi there,

Any idea why all of a sudden I am getting so much email from the contact form on the product listing? I received about 105 emails today. Here is an example of one.

Hey

Hi,

It's a bot which found the form and started filling it to try to hack your website. It didn't work, but the bot is still trying different combinations, hoping to find one that would bypass all the securities in place in HikaShop.

What you can do is to use extensions.joomla.org/extension/ospam-a-not/
That should help block these bots.

Thank you!
