I'd been running the Google reCaptcha V2 contact script on my main site and 18 regional network sites for quite a while with very few spam issues. Apparently, the evil ones have figured out a way to (by automation) get reCaptcha to use the audio prompt challenge, record the challenge and submit to Google's speech-to-text, and feed the text back to the challenge, which then succeeds and the spam message is sent. I was getting more than 30 a day, many with odd nonsense content related to books.
Recently, Pierre Fauque released a Login Pad challenge .. uses JavaScript to populate a dynamic pad of 16 buttons with 10 digits randomly placed. The button's must be clicked/touched to activate, so it seems to be fairly resistant to automation solving it. I've updated my site (and the 18 regional sites) with the new script, and behold, no more auto-spam
The Login Pad contact form is available at https://saratoga-weather.org/scripts-co ... #contactlp for standalone/Saratoga template use. Also available on GitHub at https://github.com/ktrue/contact-form-loginpad
Enjoy!

Spammers, Hackers, well all the bad souls of the internet are getting better, thus making us good souls work harder to use the net safely.
On second thought i would like that recaptcha script, because its a pain to find all the boats, chimneys, stop signs....... and betting the script get it right more than i do
Thanks for the heads up
