Email Hacking Going Commercial: Dancho Danchev writes on his blog about a commercial service that uses a software package with a collection of security vulnerabilities (many are Cross Site Scripting/XSS attacks) combined with a network of contractors, a validation service, and several payment options all wrapped up in a single commercial service.

It is clear that much of the web’s CAPTCHA infrastructure is rapidly fraying.
