Hackers are not going to be erased off this earth anywhere soon. They have eventually succeeded in cracking the the Windows Live Mail’s CAPTCHA, Google’s Gmail CAPTCHA.

It should be noted down that the group behind the activity is the one which have broken the captcha. Should the end users worry over this, raises a question? What Actually they gain from these activities!

  • gmail.com - domain name is used which is unlikely to be blacklisted by the spam filters.
  • Google’s broad range of services.

I doubt these two alone in the pipeline, but there could be many. But lets not worry too much because google’s developers aren’t that lazy enough to watch this happen. They are anyhow going to fix it up in a short period of time.

  • How come these captcha are breaked up so easily!
  • since July 2007 the HotLan Trojan has created more than 500,000 spam email accounts with Hotmail, Yahoo! and Gmail.

I agree that the Captcha technique is dead. But are there alternatives? The new solution needs to be easy and intuitive to use but remain as secure as possible.
