Kittens kill Spammers?
This probably belongs in Tech Humour?
http://www.snpx.com/securitynews/art...ution_to_spam?
The problem is spammers signing on to websites or services. This has been done by "bots" and techniques such as CAPTCHA have been used to counteract the bots.
It would seem that the latest generation of bots have found a way to interpret CAPTCHAs, at least the more common implementations, and this is another method of control.
Basically it is nothing more sophisticated than asking a security question.
I have my personal doubts, as I do not believe that this form of spamming is entirely automated, like e-mail tends to be. I am of the opinion that there is a human element involved, at least at the account set-up stage.
I think that there are parts of the World where $40 per month would be a nice income, or certainly a supplement? If there are people who find it worthwhile earning one cent per click it shouldn't be too difficult to find the staff? 
In case you are wondering, I got the $40(USD) from a wildlife program on TV the other night........... that was what the Park Rangers were getting paid.
