spam attack

[thefrenchgame]

Hello,

I have been receiving for a month 30 fake users per day creating customer account on my prestashop.

I need to delete them manually each time.

Do you know how I can stop these attacks ?

I attach a printscreen of the type of fake customers.

My prestashop is 1.6.1.6.

Thanks in advance.

Update your shop, it's a known problem.

Hi there,

There are 2 ways to fix this error.

1. Update your shop to the last version

2. Change the PS core:

• Open file public_html/classes/Customer.php change validate lastname, firstname from name to isCustomerName & save file

• Open class public_html/classes/Validate.php: Add the new function to validate customer name & save file & go to front end and double test

public static function isCustomerName($name)
    {
        $validityPattern = Tools::cleanNonUnicodeSupport(
            '/^(?:[^0-9!<>,;?=+()\/\\@#"°*`{}_^$%:¤\[\]|\.。]|[\.。](?:\s|$))*$/u'
        );

        return preg_match($validityPattern, $name);
    }

Hope that helps!

unfortunately, i prefer not to update the shop as it would make many changes on my e-shop that I have no development skills to solve

Is there anyother way to suppress spam attack without updating the site ?

Thanks

Yes, you need to update Customer.php and Validate.php files, search the forum as this was discussed many times.

I changed both files exactly like the images, but I was not able to include a regular customer also. shows customer name and customer last name invalid.

 

Any solution please???
