Forum: Captchator Yesterday bots found a hole in my captcha auth

Yesterday I started getting messages from bots at my site. They set no
captcha answer and my code sent
"http://captchator.com/captcha/check_answer/$yourse... as a
captcha confirmation. And sometimes you answered with "1" instead of
"0".

As workarout I pushed a fix that requires a captcha answer to be not
blank...

But is not there an issue when one asks you for confirmation without any
answer?

Thanks!

Konstantin

Thanks for the report. I made a change to the software yesterday that 
caused this problem. It is fixed now. Please let me know if there are 
any further problems.
