Messages from wpspamaIbot1gpt?

Tags: Security, Web development

I have been getting some strange messages recently. I am a web developer and someone has been sending me messages on my contact us page.

The first message told me that I build “insecure websites for my customers”.

The next message told me that my customers will be upset with me.

The third message told me that I need to pay with gift cards to avoid problems with my customers.

All of the messages are signed by wpspamaIbot1gpt.

I am wondering what I can do about this? Have any other web developers encountered this?

https://www.google.com/search?q=wpspamaIbot1gpt shows you’re not the only one.

Apart from changing your contact form to ignore such messages in stead of processing them, there’s nothing you can do about it, I think.

From the context of the message, it sounds like an internet bot message that is reaching out to you. Once they latch on to you, it is difficult to get them from sending more garbage. See if your internet provider can block the IP address of that sender.
