Turing porn farm

Another example of a non-cryptographic man-in-the-middle attack is the "Turing porn farm." Brian Warner says this is a "conceivable attack" that spammers could use to defeat CAPTCHAs.[2] The spammer sets up a pornographic web site where access requires that the user solves the CAPTCHAs in question. However, Jeff Atwood points out that this attack is merely theoretical — there is no evidence that any spammer has ever built a Turing porn farm.[3] However, as reported in an October, 2007 news story while perhaps not being a farm as such, spammers have indeed built a Windows game in which users type in CAPTCHAs acquired from the Yahoo webmail service, and are rewarded with pornographic pictures.[4] This allows the spammers to create temporary free email accounts with which to send out spam.
