 * I’ve been using Forminator for years. Everything was good. However, recently 
   I got several entries which bypassed the field validation. I feel puzzled. Does
   anyone has similar experience?

 * Hello [@rstako](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rstako/) !
 * I’m sorry to hear that you’ve experienced an issue with the form!
 * By “entries which bypassed the field validation” you mean, there was spam sent
   through the form even though anti-spam options were enabled?
 * It is possible for that to happen as spam bots are getting better and they can
   sometimes figure out how to circumvent protections – for this reason we’re also
   improving and adding new options.
 * Can you confirm:
    – you have Honeypot protection enabled already in the form’s
   Behaviour tab? – you have a Captcha field added to the form? – you tried hCaptcha
   instead of reCaptcha (hCaptcha seems to be working better at stopping spam recently)
 * Are you also able to tell if there were any similarities in the messages or maybe
   share an example of such message?
 * Best regards,
    Pawel
