7.14 contact.php spam hack

Dolphin reports sent me the following email (in red).  2 things:

  • Did Dolphin block something to keep the spam content from broadcasting or is it just a warning?  
  • I verified there are no new profiles in the db and since the warning below has the profile field blank, I suppose the hack is getting through to the contact.php without the need of being logged in?

These things always make me nervous.  Anyone else having spam issues with the contact.php file? (I put xxxx in the weblink)

Profile: 

Page: /contact.php

GET variables: 

Array

(

)

Spam Content: 

What if I told you that I can get you:

Millions of Facebook page likes, Twitter Followers, retweets, youtube views, favorites, instagram Followers, likes, vine Followers, revines, google+ Followers, website visitors etc. for a very cheap price. 

There's no limit on which account you want likes and Followers for. 

And here's the best part, we don't deliver thousands of fake fans overnight. We get them to you naturally, by the hour, you will get naturally organic looking fans on social media.

I promise the best social media service around

P.S. 

I did get a spam message from my server into my inbox as a legitimate message prior to the dolphin report being sent.

Contact spam is a big problem.  I don't understand it either as do they really think I am going to do anything but curse them to the worst fate possible and delete the spam?

Do you have any sort of human detector on the form?  Of course humans often fill out these forms.

Lol. Not on the contact form. Just the captcha.  I turned off the contact form.  I guess the Invite/Share forms are at risk too?

These are from spam bots that just search for a file named contact.php or something similar and then try to send this message you got. I get them constantly on my Dolphin, Wordpress and even my plain html sites. It's a nuisance but nothing to worry about.

I trashed contact form in favor of a support ticket system
