Bots signing up for email distribution

About a month about I had 30,000 emails in the database. Today I have 91,000 and counting. The increase is 100% bots. How can I prevent these additions going forward? And how can I get them out of our database? 

 

Extremely novice user here.

Hello @Michael_Koehler 

 

You can add re-captcha Or adding Honey Spam Bot to your forms to avoid any bots to fill in dummy information. 

 

To remove these bot leads you can review your database for new leads in a certain period of time you can either flag them or delete them form your database.

Honeypots don't work, but yes, reCAPTCHA is the go-to solution.
