[popovayoana]

Summary

Over the past few weeks, the volume of spammy or irrelevant messages submitted via the contact form has risen above normal levels. This may indicate a bot or abuse pattern targeting the form.

Questions / Next Steps

• Can we confirm if this is due to a recent change or external factor?
• Are existing spam protection measures (e.g., CAPTCHA, filters) functioning correctly?
• Should we consider adding or strengthening anti-spam protections?
