Enable the recaptcha on the security tab it is better.

@damsko yes all his changes are rolled back

I am the original author of Visitor maps. This plugin had a new owner in June 2017 with a WP user profile name “fastsecure”. The new owner attempted to put code in several of his newly acquired WordPress plugins that would connect to a 3rd party server he also owned and place spam ads for payday loans and such in the WP posts.

The new owner did not release any new versions of this plugin. The new owner never added spam code to this plugin like he did to other plugins he acquired. The last version I released was 1.5.8.13 with safe code.

I am sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. I never expected that this would happen. The plugin was taken off the WordPress repository by WordPress staff until this can be sorted out. Perhaps a new version will soon be published. I might be able to restore my Contributor status. In the meantime it should be advised to deactivate or uninstall the plugin until it is sorted out who will maintain it.

I am the original author of Fast Secure Contact Form. This plugin had a new owner in June 2017 with a WP user profile name “fastsecure”. The new owner attempted to put code in several of his newly acquired WordPress plugins that would connect to a 3rd party server he also owned and place spam ads for payday loans and such in the WP posts. The new owner put spam code in versions 4.0.52 4.0.53 4.0.54 and 4.0.55 but it failed to display any spam because he put the code in the secureimage.php file. The malicious code required WordPress libraries to also be loaded to execute. The reason the spam code did not do anything at all is because the secureimage.php file is not included in the WordPress run time environment. The secureimage.php file is included from another file securimage_show.php that loads the captcha image directly from html img src outside of the WordPress run time. The spam code in this plugin was never activated, it would not have corrupted your posts or changed anything in the WordPress database.

I am sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. The plugin was taken off the WordPress repository by WordPress staff until this can be sorted out. Perhaps a new version will soon be published with clean code from version 4.0.51. In the meantime it should be advised to deactivate or uninstall the plugin. But I caution you that if you delete the plugin from the WordPress plugin settings menu, your forms stored in the database will also be deleted. If you like the plugin and want to delete it now and possibly use it again in the future you can back up your forms prior to deactivate or deleting. The ‘Backup Settings’ tool is on the Tools tab of the form settings menu. This tool can save a backup of your contact form settings. Here is how to backup: Select a form to backup: (choices are: All Forms, Form 1, Form 2, etc), then click the Backup Settings button. This will generate a file download that you save on your computer. The file will be a text file named like this: “contact-form-backup-1.txt”. That is your backup file, keep it in a safe place in case you want to restore it someday.

It’s because the programmer forgot to update one of the version number variables in the program

https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/si-contact-form/trunk/si-contact-form.php

They are supposed to change line number 11 and 43

I will notify them, thanks

This addon can do it, you have to download it from github

You cannot use any captcha plugins with jetpack comments. That is a known limitation in the FAQ. Either disable the comments captcha or disable jetpack comments.
