The rise of the digital age has brought with it a multitude of security challenges. One such obstacle is the ubiquitous Captcha, a visual test designed to verify a user’s humanity by asking them to identify distorted letters and numbers. Despite its effectiveness in blocking automated attacks, Captchas have become increasingly frustrating for legitimate users, who must now navigate a maze of moving images, wacky fonts, and befuddling math problems.

This week, we explore the insidious realm of fake CAPTCHAs crafted to compromise your computer security. The countdown to cyberdoomsday has begun – will humanity survive the AI threat? To cap it all off, our investigation reveals the messy aftermath of Krispy Kreme falling victim to a ransomware attack.

In its latest, action-packed installment, the “Smashing Safety” podcast, hosted by renowned cybersecurity experts Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, welcomes Mark Stockley from “The AI Repair” podcast to share insights this week.
