NuCaptcha
Analytics-based fraud detection system
NuCaptcha is an early fraud detection service which utilises behavior analytics to provision threat appropriate, animated video CAPTCHAs. NuCaptcha is developed and operated by Canada-based firm NuData Security.[1][2][3][4]
NuCaptcha employs a new strategy by replacing a static box of blurry text with a streaming video of letters. It is simpler to solve and more difficult for automated programmes to bypass than the CAPTCHA.[5]
Static image-based CAPTCHAs are routinely used to prevent automated sign-ups to websites by using text or images of words disguised so that optical character recognition (OCR) software has trouble reading them.[1] However, in common CAPTCHA systems, users fail to correctly solve the CAPTCHA 7–25% of the time.[6] NuCaptcha uses animated video technology that it claims make puzzles easier for humans to solve, but harder for bots and hackers to decipher.[1]
