Bots vs bot detection technology: a world of constant battles in the AI era

CAPTCHAs are evolving as bots surge and become better at solving image puzzles, prompting websites to deploy AI-based detection that is less visible to users. The Wall Street Journal reported CAPTCHAs still play a key role in blocking spam, attacks and unauthorised scraping. Cloudflare said bots accounted for 57 percent of traffic as of June. Researchers and companies say attackers keep bypassing defences, pushing the industry toward judging intent, not just bot versus human.

Household loan cap raised to 3 percent; scraping to be phased down

South Korea’s financial authorities loosened parts of their household loan management stance by raising this year’s lending growth target to 3 percent from 1.5 percent and planning 47.8 trillion won-plus in housing supply finance support. The move is expected to expand banks’ annual capacity for household loans to around 60 trillion won. Authorities also agreed not to block scraping all at once, opting to phase it down while preparing alternatives such as public MyData.

Scraping block row flares ahead of personal data transfer demand right rollout

A personal data transfer demand system, legislated in advance and delayed for more than six months, has become contentious as its grace period ends. Concerns spread that transfers via scraping would be blocked, prompting debate led by fintech firms after the Supreme Court announced it would block unauthorised scraping of its servers from Aug. 20. The Personal Information Protection Commission says the system does not ban scraping outright but requires prior consultation and aims to move to API-based transfers.
