Captcha's don't work. (Score:2)

by bart (450) <bart.lateur@pandora.be> on 2007.02.03 4:13 (#53026) Journal

You may not have seen it anywhere else, yet there's been a blog post [damienkatz.net] that got linked to from Reddit, two weeks ago. That post itself in turn points to yet another article.
Anyway, that's not what I wanted to comment on. What I did want to say, is that another link found on Reddit, a "movie", clearly showed that with tools currently in use by comment spammers, captchas are easily bypassed, completely automatically. A test shows [untwistedvortex.com] a submit of the same post on 400 different forums in about 10 minutes time.
