Why pay money when you can use the power of p0rn? http://news.zdnet.co.uk/security/0,1000000189,39153933,00.htm [quote] Firstly, the spammers open and advertise a Web site containing pornography. Visitors to the porn site are asked to enter the word contained in a Captcha graphic before they are granted access. In the background, spammers have already used scripts to automate the Web mail account opening process to the point where they need a human to "read" the Captcha graphic. The Captcha graphic from the Web mail site is transferred to the porn site, where the porn consumer interprets the Captcha word. As soon as they enter the correct word, the script can complete its application process and the visitor is rewarded with free porn.
