Well your favorite website’s, favorite way to see if your human or not has a problem — their ‘protection’ has been ‘broken’. Who knew that asking a user to read and type the contents of a distorted image of text would be so easy for a computer/code to do as well? CAPTCHA’s have never even looked secure to anyone with a open security mind, and those swimming in the unconscious thoughts that some day this ‘protection’ would see its core cracked… well today is your lucky day.

But never fear! There is hope (really..?)! The Carnegie-Mellon University team behind CAPTCHA’s big brother, reCAPTCHA, is for some reason continuing research towards the “effort to mix basic  security and useful work”. While the reCAPTCHA service seems like a step in the right direction, I have my doubts. Actually, I think it won’t be too long until the next article at YOURFAVORITETECHNEWSSITE is about this new ‘improvement’ being ‘broken’. Oh internet, have mercy on the little people, and send your spam bots to wreck havoc on another interNET.
