CAPTCHA Explained: Why Websites Ask You to Confirm 'I'm Not a Robot'
CAPTCHA, which stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart, is a security tool used by websites to distinguish human users from automated bots. These tests, such as identifying distorted letters or selecting images, help prevent malicious activities like fake account creation and spam. While sometimes inconvenient, CAPTCHAs protect online services from automated abuse by requiring tasks that are easier for humans than bots to complete.
