1000s of GMail Yahoo Accounts For Sale,NE1 Interested

This causes a lot of worry to the poor email-service providers, of course.

A recent study has revealed that hundreds of thousands of e-mail accounts are put up for sale by the spammers who have cracked the CAPTCHA code of the ever called popular services like GMail, Yahoo and Hotmail. You can find the parent site of CAPTCHA here. While hacking the CAPTCHA code had been a scary initiative for the past few years, now with the DIY(Do-It-Yourself) Break CAPTCHA codes providing a lot of backbone to the spammers, phishers and malware authors to register hundred of thousands of account on their whim is causing an uproar. Anyway, not every service provider would agree over the fact.

Not a second is lost in creating fraudulent accounts and this accounts for the success rate of the capabilities of the servies providing the assistance in breaking the CAPTCHA code.

Every 1 account created in a two accounts is accounting for a cracked CAPTCHA account. And contrary to the fact that, spammers do provide the faked up goods, these scamsters do provide the users with the authorised content. The previous week, an offer was placed for Hotmail and Yahoo email accounts, this time in thousands. As per the statistics, which would change in the next few hours, of course, there are 157,752 GMail accounts put for sale, and also count nearly 11,793 Yahoo and 44,362 Hotmail accounts. And yeah, there is an offer on these accounts too. Just like the street corner supermarket, for example, if you are going to purchase up to 10,000 GMail accounts, there is a tag of of $6 for 1000, and from 10K to 100K, the price shoots down to $5 to 1K, and if you are a buyer in need of more than 100K accounts, then you need to shell out $4 for 1000. So cheap, isn’t it?

The scariest part for the E-Mail service providers is that nearly 90% of GMail, 58% of Yahoo, and over 92% of Microsoft captchas are susceptible for this rampage.
