"CAPTCHA-Breaking Services with Human Solvers Helping Cybercriminals Defeat Security"

Cybersecurity researchers at Trend Micro have warned about CAPTCHA-breaking services being offered for sale to circumvent systems designed to differentiate between legitimate users and bot traffic. CAPTCHA, which stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart, is a tool for distinguishing human users from automated users to combat spam and restrict fake account creation. According to Trend Micro, since cybercriminals are interested in accurately breaking CAPTCHAs, a number of services that cater to this market demand have been developed. These CAPTCHA-solving services do not use optical character recognition or sophisticated Machine Learning (ML) techniques. Instead, they outsource CAPTCHA-breaking duties to actual human solvers. This article continues to discuss the CAPTCHA-breaking services being offered to cybercriminals.
