Google Using ReCAPTCHA To Decode Street Addresses

[John Smith]

"Apparently some users of reCAPTCHA have recently begun seeing
photographs appear in their CAPTCHA puzzles — photos that look very
much like zoomed in house numbers taken from Google Streetview. It
appears that Google has decided to put the reCAPTCHA system to help
clean up Google streetview images, and 'according to a Google
spokesperson, the system isn't limited to street addresses, but also
involves street names and even traffic signs.' A large collection of
these has appeared on the Blackhatworld website."
