Any idea how to fight against this?


I have evidence of these '40tman_rullez' accounts being created on jabber.sk server for last weeks. Most of connections of '40tman_rullez' accounts are made from IPs 188.168.78.102, 188.168.78.162, 81.177.33.11...

But there are also others e.g.:

Most of connections of 'ws_conference_jabber_ru' accounts are made from IPs 109.169.251.0, 82.146.63.108, 95.67.179.109...

All listed IPs are registered in Russia.
These accounts are probably causing also the increased network utilization on our server (4Mb/s in peaks).

Let me know if any other information could help you to find the way how to fight against this. Do you have any recommendation how to prevent these accounts to be created on our server? I do not like to implement CAPTCHA nor filtering IPs.
