For more than two decades, these so-called CAPTCHA tests have been deployed as a security mechanism, faithfully guarding the doors to many websites.

The findings call into question whether CAPTCHA security measures are even worth the frustration they cause website users forced to crack the puzzles every day. Researchers then compared their successes to those of a number of bots coded with the purpose of beating CAPTCHA tests. Findings: Bots solved tests nearly every timeAccording to the study's findings, researchers found bots solved distorted-text CAPTCHA tests correctly just barely shy of 100% of the time.
