My theory as to why this is happening is the one flaw in captcha's implementation: It's an image, stored on a server, with a unique name. Someone can write software to identify a group of images (example, the CAPTCHA I have to enter below has a URL of (http://digg.com/images/771adcaf8c05dfc4476d0c57fccbe8bd.jpg) and continue refreshing the page until an identified image appears, then enter the CAPTCHA associated with that unique image. It sounds tedious but these people have alot of resources at their disposal. With enough time and patience you can probably capture enough CAPTCHA URL's to increase your statistical probability of generating a particular image. - thefinkler, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0Here we go again... even more spam to fill up our in trays...
