    • Preventing Stripe Fraudulent Payments

      Preventing Stripe Fraudulent Payments

      Fraudulent payments occur when the cardholder has not authorized the transaction. Most fraudulent payments are made using stolen credit card information. When the cardholder notices an unauthorized payment or reviews their card statement, they contact the card issuer to dispute it. It is crucial for businesses accepting online payments to be aware of different types of fraud.

      Website owners mainly encounter two types of fraud: purchases made with stolen cards and card testing.

      Stolen Cards:
      This type of fraud involves using stolen credit card data to make purchases online. When the cardholder discovers fraudulent activity, they dispute the payment with the card issuer. If the dispute is resolved in favor of the cardholder, the business suffers losses equivalent to the payment amount and the value of goods or services provided. Additionally, the business may face dispute fees.

      Card Testing:
      Card testing is the practice of validating a card’s authenticity on one website before using it for fraudulent transactions on another site. Websites with an open payment form on the page can be subject to card testing.

      To reduce the risk of fraud, businesses can take measures to block automated bots used by card testers.

      CleanTalk Anti-Spam is a tool that can identify bots during order submission and block the form if it detects automated activity and this occurs before the payment for the order proceeds.. This helps safeguard against disputes and fraudulent purchases.

      CleanTalk Anti-Spam is already being utilized by numerous WooCommerce sites and other online other online stores, donation forms and other payment forms, with positive feedback on its contribution to reducing fraud in online stores.

      WordPress spam protection

    • Our client’s review: N29BEDANDBREAKFAST.COM

      Our client’s review: N29BEDANDBREAKFAST.COM

      We continue sharing our clients’ reviews and today’s one is kindly brought to you by @n29bnb from n29bedandbreakfast.com on WordPress.

      Perfect companion

      CleanTalk has our back. After launching our new website, the inundation with spam messages started as well again. As we had previously sunk to the very bottom of websites with our old site, which effectively made us totally undetectable for spammers, we now were surprised by the level of interest from them. After installing CleanTalk, the number of spam e-mails dropped from 50 a week to nearly none. Seldom a very creative spammer gets through, but if, then they will quickly be eradicated too as I can forward those to CleanTalk and prompt action is taken.

      Way to go!

    • Bot Detector

      Bot Detector

      Traditional spam protection methods, such as CAPTCHA are becoming less effective as spammers become more sophisticated. As a result, website owners are turning to more innovative and smart solutions for their CMS.

      However, not all websites are made with CMS. According to the study, 32% of sites on the Internet are created without any. And that’s over 36,000,000 sites that still need protection. If you use a CMS, protecting your website is easy – just install the proper plugin or addon and you’re done. But what if your website is built without a CMS?

       

      How to protect your website without using CMS plugins or addons?

      That’s where the Bot Detector shows up. It is a one-line code that allows you to connect to the Anti-Spam cloud without using any kind of plugins or additional software. The service is completely invisible and doesn’t bother your visitors. Its main goal is to protect all the forms on the site and block all known spam bots even before they ever reach your website.

      Spam has been a major problem for website owners for many years. From annoying comment spam to harmful email spam, it can be difficult to keep your website and your visitors safe from the constant barrage of unwanted and potentially harmful content. However, there is a brand new method for anti-spam protection of your website from spam and spam bots that is gaining popularity and proving to be highly effective.

       

      How to install Bot Detector

      1. Download the lib and unpack it to your filesystem. Add the CleanTalk Bot-detector JS library wrapper to the page HTML you want to protect.

      1. Fill the config.php. Obligatory properties are:

      2. To start use CheckBot library, include “yourpath/src/autoloader.php” into the code you want to perform the check.

        require_once '../../src/autoloader.php';
      3. Then create a new CleanTalk\CheckBot object, provide $_POST or filtered POST data to the constructor.

        $bot_checker = new \Cleantalk\CheckBot($_POST);
        4. $is_bot = $bot_checker->check()->getVerdict();
        if ( $is_bot ) {
  die ($bot_checker->getBlockMessage());
}

      Learn more about using this method on our GitHub page.

       

      Checking that bot protection works properly

      Test the protection by using *@*******lk.org email for registering or sending a comment.

      When you do that, you’ll see a message like this (if that didn’t happen, please contact us by opening a private support ticket).

      Congratulations! From now on, your website is protected from spam and spam bots with Bot Detector.
