These weird registrations have been going on for some time. At least they show that way since the upgrade. I didn't notice them before the upgrade though...
I looked thru my history beyond the update point and (at least since before I upgraded to newer 1.7.8.7) there's still a bunch of weird registration names (random characters) with what seems to be somewhat valid email addresses.
I'm seeing the same thing on an older shop running 1.7.5.1
Therefore, using logic and deduction, etc. It is not due to the upgrade as its being going on in my other shop and it seems on a regular basis...
Google Captcha on the registration form should work, would it not?
See my previous post, quoted above. I've determined the upgrade was not the cause.
