Thanks FidoSysop 😉

I can follow what you say and I have Cloudfare available to activate on my blog, but I don't think they are bots, this is what was already been reasoned before...

But I will look better into Cloudflare, 😉

Giovnna, this plugin is good to see who is hitting your site and often shows referrer links. Requires geo location database installed that Mike has on his site. 

It may not show repetitive ip's in a block but often those kind of attackers use ip's from multiple countries. A good tool for identifying and blocking attackers.

An example screenshot just taken.

ok thanks! At the moment the SP captcha plugin seems to work, no weird subscription for a few days! Let's hope it's solved or I will look into Cloudfare, thanks a lots!

Glad it is working for you. We find the captcha does the trick. And now, I am about to leave on a visit to your beautiful country... and some warmer weather I hope!
