Exposing a Publicly Accessible CAPTCHA-Solving Service - An Analysis

Dear blog readers,

I've decided to share with everyone a series of photos courtesy of a publicly accessible CAPTCHA-solving service that also includes the breaking and direct bypassing of Google's reCAPTCHA with the idea to raise awareness on the fact that in today's modern cybercrime ecosystem the bad guys continue to outsource the CAPTCHA solving process to humans who would then systematically and semi-automatically attempt to solve as many CAPTCHAs as possible potentially earning a decent portion of revenue in the process and most importantly empowering today's modern spam and blackhat SEO tools in terms of automated CAPTCHA solving and account registration services on some of today's major Web properties.

Sample screenshots include:

Stay tuned!
