Spammers have actually come up with an effective means of bypassing CAPTCHA systems now: Paying people in poorer nations the equivalent of a few pence a time to decode them. Probably more cost effective than working out an automated CAPTCHA cracker system. Yay technology, hm?

Thankfully, we're probably not a large enough target for them to spend actual money on.
