What is reCAPTCHA?
reCAPTCHA protects your website from fraud and abuse without creating friction.
reCAPTCHA uses an advanced risk analysis engine and adaptive challenges to keep malicious software from engaging in abusive activities on your website. Meanwhile, legitimate users will be able to login, make purchases, view pages, or create accounts and fake users will be blocked.
Proven
reCAPTCHA has been at the forefront of bot mitigation for over a decade and actively protects data for our network of five million sites.
Frictionless
A seamless fraud detection service that stops bots and other automated attacks while approving valid users.
Adaptive
reCAPTCHA’s risk-based bot algorithms apply continuous machine learning that factors in every customer and bot interaction to overcome the binary heuristic logic of traditional challenge-based bot detection technologies.
Scraping
Content pilfering for ad revenue diversion or competitive use
Fraudulent Transactions
Purchase of goods or gift cards with stolen credit cards
Account Takeovers (ATO)
Credential stuffing to validate stolen accounts
Synthetic Accounts
Creation of new accounts for promotion value or future misuse
False Posts
Posting of malicious links or misinformation propagation
Money Laundering
Bot generated ad click revenue on fraudulent websites
