Voting system fraud

Question

Voting system fraud

curlingford opened this issue 11 years ago · comments

Hello,

We are experiencing a mayor problem with our plugin. It seems that one of our contestants is receiving votes automatically by a robot or what so ever. Since our votes are being done internationally we would like to see if you are able to assist us in getting the issue solved as soon as possible.

We would also like to see if we can instal a catcha code pero vote to keep the security at high level.

Hoping to hear from you soon.

I will look into captcha for the plugin but I am too busy right now to add this to my normal feature request list. You can upgrade a feature request to make it premium though.

This is always a problem with the plugin as it is not secure unless you use the registered user and that still can be faked like this. All you have to do is delete the data that is stored that you have voted. This is a hard work around to fix and one that I have been trying to fix ever since I created the plugin.

So if i understand you correctly. There is nothing that we can do to get it secured?

Unfortunately, there is nothing right now that is completely secure from cheating. Cheaters are hard to combat. To get a feature request to be premium there is a cost involved. If you would like to further discuss this please email me at kyle.king@highergroundstudio.com.
