So my forum isn't publicly open yet, im still working on my theme etc.
And the past week been having alot of spam bots so just been banning and banning maybe 30 bots who were normal registered.

But this morning i was cleaning up for some spam while i've been sleeping and i noticed one of the Spam bots was Admin ??

How did this happend, luckily it was only a Spam bot but how ?'
This was a newly registered Spam bot this morning and for some reason it was Admin i have no idea how this have happend.
Set your board to closed. That way you wont need to keep banning.
Yep i did that right after, its just weird how it was registered as Admin.
Check your plugins that you have no insecure plugins; was the username admin or the group?
The name of the Bot was: DuhWrerezef
and it was a Bot not a hacker, it made spam messages relating the same stuff the other bots have been doing and the Admin CP is in the Toplinks when your in the group, and it haven't been in there so its not a hacker.

And it was placed somehow in the Admin group.
