ZDNet’s Dancho Danchev wrote a good investigative article on cheap Indian CAPTCHA breakers that promise to solve 250k CAPTCHAs per day for only $2 for every 1000 solved CAPTCHAs.

The service is among the countless number of franchises operated by several of India’s large data processing companies,India CAPTCHA breakers making it harder, but not necessarily impossible to establish connection between them. At the beginning, mom and pop CAPTCHA services seeking to expand start participating in the franchise business model offered by the big companies that are no longer capable of executing the projects on their own, and so in a win-win-win situation for the big company, the franchise, and the customers, India’s CAPTCHA solving economy is booming.

Data processing as a mentality is visible in all the applications a human CAPTCHA solver is using. Basically, there’s no indication which service’s authentication model they’re currently abusing, CAPTCHA breaking is replaced with CAPTCHA solving making it look like it’s a some sort of a challenge that they have to solve.

Recruitment of the people that would be later tested for whether on not they quality for the job by exposing them toIndia CAPTCHA breakers CAPTCHAs from different services, and a timer running in the background, is mainly done through advertisements like the following :

* easy work
* no learning needed
* no investment needed
* weekly payout
* work from home
* work when you want
* flexible working hours
* highest rates in the industry
