Just curious why spammers are using software to generate countless random customers?

 

I've set up Captcha but really just why? What do they get out of it?

Spammers use software to generate random customers on platforms like PrestaShop to create fake accounts for sending phishing emails, posting fraudulent reviews, or manipulating sales data to mislead legitimate users. They often aim to exploit your store for profit, either by driving traffic to their own sites or selling fake products. Captcha helps, but they’re persistent because even a small success rate can be profitable for them. Consider adding email verification or monitoring for suspicious activity to further deter them.
