a new kind of captcha.. "press and hold". i guess the single

"click if you are human" has been foiled.

Hmmm, indeed, it fooled me. :-( ;-)

Maybe you are blocking too much at the ibb.co site?



But, I was just posting an image of the captcha prompt/system

to illustrate what I encountered.



The actual site that triggered the captcha was

https://www.caranddriver.com/ ..to a specific article. It

doesn't seem to be doing that anymore right now. Maybe the

cookie system remembers me now.

I clicked around a bit, but can't trigger it either...

OK.. here's what I think has happened. I was reading a

newsletter that ultimately would steer me to a story/site.

But, before it did that, it would go through some intermediary

(for tracking purposes?) ..that's were the captcha would

appear, and THEN take me to the caranddriver article.



But I don't have the original newsletter with the initial

synopis of the stories and links anymore.



I'd swear that when I was poking around the caranddriver site,

the same press'n'hold showed up a couple more times.



Anyway.. it seems that the standard click-here-with-a-check-

mark type captchas can be fooled with automation. And this

"press'n'hold" strategy is away to foil that?

Wow, that's a rough way to find out that while you thought you were human all

this time, you're actually a robot. My condolences :D

i dont use that site and that's the first place i've seen that.

the click if you're human shit works via reading your cookies, doesn't it?

i just used imgbb and I didn't get that capcha. so it must be due to something you are doing. ie your browser agent,etc
