CAPTCHA now gotcha!

CAPTCHA! wondering wats this is?

The abbreviation is for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart
now u got that? nope!? ok let me put this way..

These are the texts (distorted texts like symbols n mixed cases) which needs to be typed in when a user wants to sign in to an account, idea is to ensure that the datas are coming in from a human and not from a malicious bot.

Now a security firm is reporting that the CAPTCHA used for Windows Live Mail, Gmail can be cracked in as little as 60 seconds. OMG! gone in 60 seconds thats so fast n furious!!
