Development News: Captcha Back Door Fixed


EditMe Official Blog2007-04-03 

While testing the new captcha images last week we found a loophole in our captcha system that a few aggressive spammers had been using to post spam comments to our customer's wikis. If you had enabled captchas on your site and saw little or no slow-down in spam comments, you were almost certainly a victim of this flaw. Now that it is fixed, we expect to see a dramatic drop in spam comments. Let us know if you notice a change on your site.
