Sudden spike in spam on Netlify Forms (honeypot + reCAPTCHA) – loumarc.netlify.app

When using ReCaptcha, the Akismet spam detection is automatically disabled. So if bots and spammers are surpassing ReCaptcha on your website, unfortunately there’s nothing that can be done. I don’t believe switching the captcha provider would essentially fix that, but if you think so, as I mentioned in that post, you can implement and Edge Function to use hcaptcha or any other spam detection tool that you’d like.
