The War on Spam Goes 3-D With new 3-D Captcha
A while back I wrote a post trying to warn everyone that Captcha as a security measure has been defeated. This basically means that anyone who has a blog or any site that uses Captcha for security pretty much has no security. Spammers could easily hit your site with whatever they want and that’s not good. Well it’s good for them but bad for us. So I had a feeling people were scrambling to find a new method of security. Then I saw this article here.
This new technology makes it pretty much impossible for a computer to crack so automated processes like this are eliminated but there is a catch. There was another article that I can’t seem to find right now that basically said Indian firms are hiring hundreds of people to physically defeat the Captcha system. That is they hire out humans to go through Captcha systems by hand and then spam away. Apparently its cheap to hire out this labor and then they can spam websites (you can probably figure out which kind) Want more Viagra ads? Well these are the people that do that kind of crap.
