Hacking adv poll 2.02

Got up this morning to see my poll had received 1,054,598,854 votes overnight and had been disabled ( anormal load of votes is around 10

) . I'm using the Mysql version - does anyone have suggestions on how to protect against this kind of attack?

Other information - the creation date had been changed to Wednesday, 31 December 1969 19:00

Tks

you might want to into General Settings to the Check section, select IP table and change the time. I have mine set at 24 and haven't had any problems... make sure you have the cookie set right.
