CAPTCHA's still a good security defense for sites but with this tool, It's not that good anymore once that tool is spread.

Researcher said they won't publish the tool. They just informed to websites about the results.
website owners should increase the security .

Looks like the tool does better than what I can read.;)

I hate CAPTCHA, I usually have to do them several time before I can get them right.
Yet a tool has very little problems.

Thanks.:D

CAPTCHA must tighten the security in order to fail the attack and bots would fail to bypassed using CAPTCHA method.
