Despite Google's assertions that only its old CAPTCHA method can be cracked, researcher Jonathan Wilkins asserts that Google's reCAPTCHA is now actually weaker than before.

"In his tests, Wilkins managed to increase the success rate of conventional text recognition nearly tenfold over the previous version (from 5 out of 200 to 23 out of 100)," according to The H Security.

"The Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) is designed, for instance, to prevent email accounts from being automatically created so that spam can be sent out," the article states. "The problem with this application scenario is that spammers do not need to be 100% successful. Merely succeeding one out of ten times when creating email accounts is more than sufficient."
