Hello,
For some time, people come into direct messages on my guestbook without authorized access to the page.
How is this possible?
Pending board,
Best regards.

Hi, then you should check all your security settings, passwords to dabase, etc. If someone can access or write something to your database not the right way, then there can be a lot of problems on your server - if the message was directly written to database, then in fact this has nothing to do with the Phoca Guestbook (as it can protect writing the message by used Phoca Guestbook entry way, but the component cannot protect your database against other methods, like e.g. manually writing the entry in phpMyAdmin or through other util or other extension, or similar
)
