Re: Hackers complicate online ticket purchases

posted on Mar 26, 09 10:56AM

This TOTALLY scares me:

The first step for hackers wanting to bypass the limitations on ticket sales is defeating the "captcha," which stands for "completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart." That's the little box on websites where you have to type in a phrase that supposedly can be recognized only by humans and so is meant to block computer-generated responses.

However, captchas can be defeated, and Purita said that allows hackers to automate ticket purchases, masquerading as many buyers with different credit card numbers and mailing addresses.
