The CAPTCHA security system that Yahoo, and many other email service
providers adopt to prevent spam, may not be secure, according to
Russian security researchers. The researchers claim to have found a
way in which the security system can be compromised. This would result
in a huge increase in spam coming from yahoo and other email accounts.


The software is even on rapidshare apparently :-(
