Re: CAPTCHA image validation in web form

["Shalom Carmel" <shalom@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If its worth it for the hacker, there are some ways to bypass your captcha.
For example, a hacker can harness the human processing power of Amazon's
Mechanical Turk and even automate the entire process.

I'm not saying that captcha is dead, because it seems to lower the spam
volume from sites that use it. However, it may be only temporary relief.
