CAPTCHA Hacks For Gmail, Blogspot, Craigslist Causing Problems

Seems the hackers have found a way to work around CAPTCHA – the once great hope of stopping bots from spamming. SEW Forum member, Sitetruth, notes that there are now programs being offered that work around the filter.

So if you notice a lot of spam coming from Gmail accounts and hacks of Blogspot you will know why. Even the spam fight over at Craigslist is getting to be a major problem according to TechDirt.

Matt Cutts’ team over at Google must be working over time on this one. I have been noticing bounces off my Gmail account in my spam folder – hey this has always been a problem, but if bots are out there creating millions of “soon to be spamming” accounts – then Gmail may start getting blacklisted by various email filters.

Hackers have always been part of the internet landscape. Gaming systems is almost part of the lore of the web – at least in the regular media. No doubt many of the ‘Black Hats’ grew up with a steady diet of movies where the hacker is the hero’s sidekick. Virtually all the people I know begrudgingly admit the skills used to hack systems is impressive… but most also see them living in their parents’ basements.

Hey guys the weather is gorgeous today. Step away from the computers and go outside. Life in the light feels good and it is a lot of fun interacting with flesh.

Leave Craigslist alone. It is such a globally shared egalitarian resource – that it should be an “all hat colors free zone”.

Matt if you need any input or help from this community just let us know.
