What an idea! Hide a CAPTCHA breaker in porn. You get what you want (free e-mail accounts in most cases), they get what they want (porn). Win-win.
A nifty little program that Trend Micro detects as TROJ_CAPTCHAR.A disguises itself as a strip-tease game, wherein a scantily clad "Melissa" agrees to take off a little bit of her clothing. However, for her to strut her stuff, users must identify the letters hidden within a CAPTCHA. Input the letters correctly, press "go," and "Melissa" reveals more of herself.
Just a side note, sorry I've been posting a lot of news stories this week, but I'm drained for material right now, so I figured sub-par content would be better than none.
