I want to upgrade my "Send to a Friend / Social Sharing" modules (right now I'm on WordPress and I just use a contact form and a basic "Send to a Friend" plugin that I got from the WP content library.

However, I just read this analysis of "form filler bots" and I'm concerned about making sure it's secure and that spammers can't use my site to send their gambling spam.

Honestly, I don't pay much attention to my social sharing forms, just my comment spam, so I'm looking for suggestions.

First off, you search the plugin name that you are going to use on the internet to get any information about it. Make sure that it will not contain vulnerabilities that reported there.
Also, check your plugin if it will store user info on your database or from their sites. If not, you can lose any information from your site.
Send to a Friend function can be used when users on your site subscribed and you can promote any services/products.
