Anti Bot Measures

Postby masc » Tue Feb 22, 2011 9:48 am

At the end of 2010 a new internet bot started terrorizing websites by trying to login with user accounts. This lead to users trying to log in on our website getting a message that they exceeded their login attempts and where as a consequence asked to enter a captcha code. This of course is not only annoying for the users but also a security risk and therefore we had to take measurements to fight this nasty new bot. We therefore implemented a new login procedure that will from now on in addition to the user name and password ask you to answer a anti bot question. We are sorry that we had to take these measurements but better be save than sorry.

To answer the Anti-Bot question correct just enter the 'letters' asked for. The answer has to look like 'zzzu'. Use x instead of z and c instead of u. ;)
