Snapchat account registration CAPTCHA defeated
Found on Techienews on Thursday, 23 January 2014
Snapchat’s security troubles continue as a security researcher has managed to hack its account registration CAPTCHA system with a program of less than 100 lines that took 30 minutes to develop.
Hickson has detailed the basics of the logic he implemented to develop the program through a blog post. “With very little effort, my code was able to “find the ghost” in the above example with 100% accuracy”, noted Hickson.
That leaves the question what people could want with a ton of those useless accounts.
