Improve bot prevention with a better key and timestamp

I've been using Antibot for more than a year now to protect a fairly large number of webforms on different websites. Yesterday, within two hours, I received about 400 spam contributions through one of these webforms protected by Antibot. At first I thought some javascript files were not loaded and this version was now stuck in the cache. But that was not the case. I had to take the affected webform offline to finally stop the flooding. This morning, I took it online again, but the spam-terror continued immediately.

I would be interested to know if anyone has noticed similar lately. In my case, the Email address field of the submitted webform followed the scheme [10-digit-number]@qq.com. The text field contained asian letters.
