Gmail: a bot on five reaches automatically register

[Marik]

With the advance of security technology is also strengthening methods to circumvent them. Thus, one of the most secure dams regularly encountered is the CAPTCHA, or “Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart” (Public Turing test completely automatic designed to differentiate human’s computers). It is a series of alphanumeric characters which are generally flouts, distorted or drowned in a “decoration” to make reading more complex.

This reading is generally very simple for a human brain. Just as the latter can visually identify a face or an animal known and add full information, identification by computer is much less simple. Thus, the CAPTCHA are used to defend automated registrations to various services, particularly webmail’s.

And it is precisely those who know the problems today. A few weeks ago, Live Mail service Microsoft began accepting entries made by automatic bots particularly powerful who managed to pierce his CAPTCHA. This time, the problem resurfaced with Gmail service from Google, the victim bots.

Gmail is a prime target because it is interconnected with many other departments in the company. Moreover, the fact that the service is Google increases the chances that addresses “@ gmail.com” do not end up on a blacklist. Free and good performance Gmail makes it a prime target and the security company Websense is now estimated that over five bot arrives to register.
