I've have for awhile been getting bogus customers being created in my MS Access Database. It doesn't appear that any other tables have been affected. Does anyone know if this is a hack and whether there is a fix to block these bogus customers?

I get bogus customers when someone starts going through the checkout process just to see what shipping is, then abandons the process. I'm not certain I would worry about this, unless it looks like there are some attempts at SQL injections.

In my 'copious spare time', I periodically delete bogus accounts as I come across them. Things like street: asdf is kinda a clue.

These are not abandon checkout processes. Below is an example of the garbage. You'll see that most of the corruption is in the address information and certainly doesn't look like an abandon process. I've also experience identical name information with the same kind of addres giberish.

If anyone has experienced this and has a suggested fix I'd appreciate it. So far this doesn't appear to be impacting any other tables in my MDB but I'd like to secure this more tightly if I can.

What kinds of web analytics software do you have? Someone may have a script running somewhere that posts a form to your site.

If you can check visitor's "entry pages" (the first thing they see on your site) and see a lot of entries on a POST request, that's what you've got.

I get the same kind of junk in some non-VPASP forms on my web site. I think it's probably people trying to generate spam for e-mails or linking purposes.
