Hello,
My forum is quite well managed regarding spam, having zero spam posts from newly registered accounts but in that last month I have almost daily spam from existing users with compromised accounts, lower than 10 posts.

What measures do you see in my case and what plugins? Maybe a strong captcha for the first 10 posts in forum? But this is secondary (also urgent) because first I must somehow avoid compromiting old accounts.

I have the latest MyBB version and as secure measures I use: security question at registration, plugins DVZ Secure Content, reCaptcha v2 plugin for MyBB enabled for the group New registered (first 10 posts), in settings / General Configuration / CAPTCHA Images for Registration & Posting I selected "reCaptcha V3" and 0.5 value for "reCAPTCHA v3 Score".

Thanks
