 * Over the last couple days I have started getting a number of alerts like this
   one:
 * system Feedback status has been changed (details):
    ID: 4804, Old status: new,
   New status: spam, Title: MatthewBlary – 2019-01-08 10:33:33
 * They will come in bursts of a few within a few minutes. Then another burst an
   hour or so later. The title will change after a few times along with the IP it
   is coming from.
 * I couldn’t find anything related to this on the forum here so I wanted to see
   what someone says.
 * Thanks.

 * Someone is using a feedback form that’s embedded somewhere in your website to
   send spam. The change of IP address may indicate that the offender is using either
   a proxy to mask their real location. And the change in the title may just be 
   a way for them to mark which batch of requests are resulting in successful attempts.
 * It is up to you to decide what to do with the information that the plugin is 
   sending. You can either install an additional plugin to block or filter these
   requests, or place a web application firewall in front of your website to take
   care of this and other type of attacks.
 * Let me know if you need more information.

 * Thanks. I didn’t even realize I had that enabled. I have gone ahead and disabled
   it.
