ASUS and reCaptcha v3 have been in the news lately, with ASUS releasing a Christmas-themed executable file that has been causing problems for Windows users. The file, christmas.exe, has been reported to be causing issues with gameplay and has been likened to a malware. ASUS has since apologized for the issue and has released an update to fix the problem. In other news, reCaptcha v3 has been revealed to be ineffective against AI bots, which can bypass the security measure due to its reliance on computer vision and AI.
