Hell Yeah! writes "A team of Russian hackers have found a way to read the CAPTCHA with 35% accuracy. It's not necessary to achieve high degree of accuracy when designing automated recognition software. The accuracy of 15% is enough when attacker is able to run 100.000 tries per day, taking into the consideration the price of not automated recognition — one cent per one CAPTCHA. http://www.0x000000.com/?i=502"
