I also would give you access to the, it was not in the database as we thought. * the hacker is exploiting membership level with ID 1 only * we had sucuri run scans and found nothing, so not sure how he is injecting it, and we found no user nor anything in the database or wordpress directories * when we disabled the first membership with id =1 they still came * we also had location blocker on only allowing one country, the hacker must be sophisticated because they switched to that country in the ip addresss * strange with the membership level inactive the new user accounts are created even if a payment does not go through and new stripe transactions and emails sent to the admin side * when we deleted the membership level it stopped.. * i hope this gives you a way to work this out. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Membership Plugin - Kadence Memberships] Security notice: 50,000 spam attempts to make subscription se](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-notice-50000-spam-attempts-to-make-subscription-se/) * Thread Starter [obertscloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obertscloud/) * (@obertscloud) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-notice-50000-spam-attempts-to-make-subscription-se/page/2/#post-16318167) * Another bug I found, when the hacker tried to make a payment and it failed or did not go through, our noreply@ email got a message that the the hackers fake email was not delievered, but why send an email in the first place if the payment did not go through? this caused my host also concerns thinking we were spaming people. * they should not get an activation email if the payment did not go through, please check this, thank you * plus I have thousands of transactions that failed is a mess inside the plugin admin side * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Membership Plugin - Kadence Memberships] Security notice: 50,000 spam attempts to make subscription se](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-notice-50000-spam-attempts-to-make-subscription-se/) * Thread Starter [obertscloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obertscloud/) * (@obertscloud) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-notice-50000-spam-attempts-to-make-subscription-se/page/2/#post-16317457) * More updates, our security have found the hacker got into your free plugin, then injected code through your plugin to the database, then changed the wp-admin . htacccess and added a script inside the database so my tech deleted the database and restored from a backup without the injection. So far it seems ok, he added more firewall and hardening to the site .. but the site is now live, the tech will try to catch the next exploiter. Stripe security team is also working on this and they said others have reported it. I know there is a holiday but I would advise all free users to go to another plugin, possibly your pro version is compromised. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Membership Plugin - Kadence Memberships] Security notice: 50,000 spam attempts to make subscription se](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-notice-50000-spam-attempts-to-make-subscription-se/) * Thread Starter [obertscloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obertscloud/) * (@obertscloud) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-notice-50000-spam-attempts-to-make-subscription-se/page/2/#post-16317351) * rolling keys is difficult I use alot of stripe on my website, but maybe I can get it done, * I went live and attacks started, when I took level 1 membership away they stopped, they are targeting level 1 only that might help you, they must know your code. * but since everything is already set up by levels it would be difficult to change the levels now * like I said even though you want us to pay for things we don’t have the money and barely can afford what we do have at the moment * cloudflare only helps if we pay .. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[GiveWP - Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform] ddos attack with stripe with your plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ddos-attack-with-stripe-with-your-plugin/) * Thread Starter [obertscloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obertscloud/) * (@obertscloud) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ddos-attack-with-stripe-with-your-plugin/#post-16317171) * i take it back one of the donation pages it spins * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[GiveWP - Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform] ddos attack with stripe with your plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ddos-attack-with-stripe-with-your-plugin/) * Thread Starter [obertscloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obertscloud/) * (@obertscloud) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ddos-attack-with-stripe-with-your-plugin/#post-16317170) * sorry got it to work on live site now * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[GiveWP - Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform] ddos attack with stripe with your plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ddos-attack-with-stripe-with-your-plugin/) * Thread Starter [obertscloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obertscloud/) * (@obertscloud) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ddos-attack-with-stripe-with-your-plugin/#post-16317159) * now donation circle spins on test site it worked * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[GiveWP - Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform] ddos attack with stripe with your plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ddos-attack-with-stripe-with-your-plugin/) * Thread Starter [obertscloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obertscloud/) * (@obertscloud) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ddos-attack-with-stripe-with-your-plugin/#post-16317137) * got the recaptcha enabled, thank you with the code * now I have to get this on restrict content plugin also a ddos but they want us to pay a lot of money for a pro version to have recaptcha * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Membership Plugin - Kadence Memberships] Security notice: 50,000 spam attempts to make subscription se](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-notice-50000-spam-attempts-to-make-subscription-se/) * Thread Starter [obertscloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obertscloud/) * (@obertscloud) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-notice-50000-spam-attempts-to-make-subscription-se/#post-16317064) * thanks for your humble response, we are a network, but we cannot afford your yearly pro version, subscriptions only keep the project alive, and now we face closing down out of 14,000 only a few hundred subscribed for $10 a year they can also barely afford subscription 20 subscribed for $25 a year that only pays hosting. * i tried the route of the plugin for recaptcha but I do not know your plugin slug, and I tried what I thought, but I do not get it going with or without the slug. * since you provide only a short code it is difficult to make the user use captcha and any javascript attack can hi-jack your ajax and insert bogus information. I remember when I had a stripe plugin (recommended by stripe) for woocommerce and had the same problem with over 100K $1 and $2 entries, Stripe pulled the plugin because they failed to comply with recaptcha and security * I hope this is not the case for you, and migrating to another plugin, I don’t know how, I have a lot of content on the website it would be impossible * we have asked for a pro version in the past and explained our cause but were not given a pro version * but as you said you take your bank seriously, then please help me implement captcha, i have been working with you already on another issue and you have my email so possibly we can work from there but i think it should be public so others facing the issue can have a solution and recaptcha is the safest * or you can tell me how to integrate your cloudflare solution, I tried for 8 hours and never got it work * so my main site is down, I have a temporary site and have no content until you fix it or help. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Membership Plugin - Kadence Memberships] Security notice: 50,000 spam attempts to make subscription se](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-notice-50000-spam-attempts-to-make-subscription-se/) * Thread Starter [obertscloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obertscloud/) * (@obertscloud) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-notice-50000-spam-attempts-to-make-subscription-se/#post-16316981) * Maybe is a recaptcha solution, what is the slug of your plugin ? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-captcha/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-captcha/) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Membership Plugin - Kadence Memberships] Security notice: 50,000 spam attempts to make subscription se](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-notice-50000-spam-attempts-to-make-subscription-se/) * Thread Starter [obertscloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obertscloud/) * (@obertscloud) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-notice-50000-spam-attempts-to-make-subscription-se/#post-16316924) * Thanks but I see another person also having the same problem, and Stripe also told me it was due to your plugin not having captcha. I just had a look at your suggestion, but there is no way to wrap this into your form that requests payment data, and I tried it on one page but it does not go near the shortcode. * Maybe you can provide the code I need to add it or add recaptcha to your free version. This is a nightmare, now I have thousands of dollars stolen from my bank as Stripe is debting my bank account for the thousands of fraudulent charges until they can resolve the payments, because over 120,000 had a charge, but were marked fraudulent, now I have bank problems. I am sure I am not alone. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[GiveWP - Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform] ddos attack with stripe with your plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ddos-attack-with-stripe-with-your-plugin/) * Thread Starter [obertscloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obertscloud/) * (@obertscloud) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ddos-attack-with-stripe-with-your-plugin/#post-16314303) * Cloudflare said it was injecting through your plugin as well as Stripe also said that and the report from the team at my hosts also have logs showing your plugin is effected.

You have no recaptcha or security anyone can take over your ajax code and inject anything. Sucuri also stated that, so with your plugin down, everything is fine.
