Website Asks: Are You a Robot?
Update: 2025-10-23
Description
Why did so many people suddenly have to prove they weren't robots online? On October 23rd, a wave of unusual activity warnings swept across the internet, forcing users to complete CAPTCHAs just to access websites. Was it a massive bot attack, or something less sinister? This episode breaks down why these security checks happen, what triggers them (hint: public Wi-Fi and VPNs are prime suspects), and why they're an increasingly common part of our online experience. Learn how these quick tests protect websites from spam and attacks, and why seeing one doesn't necessarily mean you've done anything wrong.
