Captcha Scam
A Captcha scam involves deceptive tactics where attackers exploit the challenge-response test designed to determine whether a user is human or a bot. Scammers may trick users into solving Captchas to gain unauthorized access to accounts or services, often by disguising malicious activities as legitimate requests. This undermines the security purpose of Captchas and can lead to compromised personal information or accounts.
