About this webinar

Easy to implement and typically available in a free version, CAPTCHAs are widely used as a basic bot protection measure. But they’re not immune to bots. On the contrary, fraudsters are finding increasingly sophisticated ways to bypass traditional CAPTCHAs. For example, some advanced CAPTCHA-solving bots rely on artificial intelligence for automated image or audio recognition.

But another, increasingly common strategy relies on a much more time-tested problem-solving device: the human brain. CAPTCHA farms (or sweatshops) are services that bot developers can query via an API, and where pools of human workers are solving CAPTCHA challenges for $2 a day.
