    AI bot surge makes CAPTCHA screens a growing time tax●I wonder if it's possible to quantify how much time is lost collectively to the 'verification' screens that we suffer thMmastodonTechnologyAI93 d ago

    A comment circulating online asks whether anyone can quantify the collective time people now lose to 'verification' screens, arguing the captchas multiplied as AI bots overrun the internet. The observation is striking a chord: as automated crawlers and scrapers flood websites, more sites demand proof of humanity, adding seconds of friction to everyday browsing for millions of users.

    Captcha moment sparks Body Snatchers AI fears●Captcha just confirmed that I am human. Are humans being replaced by AI just like in Invasion of the Body Snatchers 1978MmastodonCultureFilm24 d ago

    A poster jokes that solving a captcha to prove humanity felt like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the 1978 Donald Sutherland sci-fi classic about humans being silently replaced by duplicates, itself a remake of the 1956 film. The quip reflects wider anxiety that AI-generated content and bots are crowding out authentic human presence online, making routine proof-of-humanity checks feel newly symbolic.

    French CAPTCHA provider Captcha.eu flagged over unpatched SSRF flaws●Captcha.eu (France) carries a C trust score with 100% of its 2 CVEs unpatched, including CWE-918 SSRF at CVSS 7.1. No CIMmastodonTechnologyCybersecurity02 d ago

    French bot-defense vendor Captcha.eu is drawing scrutiny over a low trust score, with both of its known CVEs reportedly unpatched, including a server-side request forgery flaw (CWE-918) rated 7.1 on the CVSS scale. Security commentary warns that an open SSRF issue in a component designed to block bots warrants assessment before websites embed the service, though neither vulnerability appears in CISA's known exploited vulnerabilities catalog.
