CAPTHA’s are broken?
Well I have been reading up on CAPTCHA’s (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart). They are the images that contain letters and numbers that you have to enter before you can post a comment or sign up to a service to stop automated bots from aggregating thousands of accounts that could be used to SPAM you and download Malware onto your computer.
It does not look good I am afraid. Check out the following links:
