Are the bot sophisticated enough to read the captcha that takes me three or four tries most times?
Does a hu-mon come in and leave the door open?
It appears to me that MRF is being targeted with these SpamBots the way Killer Squirrel targeted dealchat.
Edification welcome.
I have wondered about how bots get in, also.
I might have to ask Chat GPT
Here is what my AI buddy said, but other than the first one, not sure I am much better informed. Lol
1. CAPTCHA-Solving Services (Human or AI-Based)
• Human farms: Bots send the CAPTCHA image to a low-wage worker somewhere in the world who solves it manually, often within seconds.
• AI solvers: Machine learning models are trained to recognize and solve common CAPTCHAs like image selection, distorted text, or even Google’s reCAPTCHA. Some are surprisingly accurate.
Example: Open-source tools and paid services exist that can solve basic CAPTCHAs for fractions of a cent per image.

? 2. CAPTCHA Bypasses or Weak Implementations
• If a website misconfigures the CAPTCHA (e.g. applies it only on the front end), bots can skip it by submitting data directly to the server.
• Some CAPTCHAs rely on JavaScript that bots can disable or spoof to get around.
• Old or simple CAPTCHA types (like plain text) are often easily breakable by OCR (optical character recognition) tools.
⸻
? Session Replay & Cookie Replay
• Bots mimic real user interactions by replaying valid sessions or cookies, making it look like a CAPTCHA was already solved.
⸻
? Browser Automation Tools
• Tools like Selenium, Puppeteer, or Playwright allow bots to behave very similarly to real users — moving the mouse, clicking, waiting — which can sometimes fool CAPTCHA detection.
⸻
? Imitating Human Behavior
• Advanced bots randomize mouse movements, typing speed, and delays to avoid detection by behavioral systems like Google reCAPTCHA v3, which scores users based on how “human” they seem.
