🚫😆 ICANN's having a tantrum because AFRINIC's #election went *poof* with zero explanation, and The Register's site is now playing bouncer, thinking you're a bot for daring to look. Maybe the real election #scandal is the CAPTCHA! 🖥️🤖

The Register · ICANN fumes as AFRINIC offers no explanation for annulled electionBy Simon Sharwood

Deploying NetSupport RAT via WordPress & ClickFix

A threat actor is using compromised WordPress websites to distribute a malicious version of NetSupport Manager Remote Access Tool (RAT). The attack chain involves phishing campaigns, website compromise, DOM manipulation, and a fake CAPTCHA page. The malware is delivered through a batch file that downloads and executes NetSupport Client files. Post-infection, the attacker uses NetSupport's features for reconnaissance and further exploitation. The attack utilizes various JavaScript files and DOM manipulation techniques to evade detection. Multiple IP addresses and domains associated with the attack infrastructure have been identified, primarily linked to hosting providers in Moldova.

@404media says "wild goose chase" diverters for #AI #scrapers use too many resources and don't affect the AI sewer very much. In addition, the scrapers have solved #CAPTCHA" so those just waste everyone's time.
According to the article, #Anubis is an #OpenSource program which requires browsers to complete a #JavaScript test which is already done routinely. It says this test would be overwhelmingly burdensome for scrapers if they had to do it on multiple websites.

love it when #captcha fails in #firefox so i have to use #chrome. it's terrific.

i used to hear about folks having trouble on sites with firefox and i didn't start encountering it until recently this year. several sites behave oddly and captcha by way of #google almost always fails indefinitely.

Just got a hCAPTCHA prompt for "items you can wear on your head" (not "that you wear on your head", but "that you CAN wear on your head") and… how hard am I trying? Because I could definitely wear the flip-flops on my head if I tried!

Пользоваться поиском Google через TOR - это боль... По 2-4 раза CAPTCHA просит - да ещё и картинки очень медленно подгружает (и такое ощущение, что специально - чтобы ещё больнее было, ибо картинки в reCAPTCHA низкого качества и даже через TOR должны загружаться быстро - но нет, нет)... Когда уже все на hCAPTCHA перейдут?.. Сколько можно людей мучать?.. Вот, многие CloudFlare ругают, а у них, между прочим, CAPTCHA - это вообще ПРОСТО_ТЫК. Понимаете?.. ПРОСТО_ТЫК, и ничего больше!.. Почему Google мучает всех своею ReCAPTCHA, почему как у CloudFlare не сделать?.. Я повторяю: ПРОСТО_ТЫК!..

Tried to install #Starcraft 2 from Gamepass

Didn't have a Battlenet account, passed 3 INSANE dice captchas, still said no, not human. Passed a 4th round of audio captchas, nope.

Couldn't close the log in pop up either, had to uninstall battlenet entirely, even killing it in task manager didn't help it kept popping up like a virus to log in.

Fuck Blizzard fuck AI fuck Corporations man holy shit I just want to play a god damn video game?
