Has captcha been broken?

    I have been using wcf 7 captcha for years without an issue but for some reason, only recently (last week or so) it doesn’t appear to be working.

    I am getting 4-5 form submissions per day which are pure spam.

    I don’t understand how they’re getting through? I tested the form and you can’t get past without entering the captcha so I’m wondering if the code has been broken? (i.e. can they auto determine the code based on the image name?)

    Here is an example of the last one received:
