How to ensure hackers dont submit volume submissions

murugappan 26 Sep, 2024

We recently used another form extension for user to submit Product Interest form. What happen was that somehow damn hacker from China managed to submit 250k submissions which flooded the database. Is there a mechanism in Chronoforms to prevent this? One suggestion is to sent a confirmation request email to the submitter. Only on confirming that email, the data capture and subsequent processing should proceed. Is this possible with Chronoform?

Any advise is appreciated.

Chronoforms8 has 3 security views which you can use to check the form submit is done by a human, honeypot, security question and Google recaptcha, you can add any of them to your form
