reCAPTCHA is NOT Broken!
Read the article. It says the images in this "new" attack were collected in 2008. It took this attacker more than one year to come up with a way to read the images, and in the meantime reCAPTCHA has changed their distortions multiple times. I read the attacker's paper, and the reCAPTCHA images look completely different nowadays (for example, there is no line through the words). Stop spreading misinformation.
