Captcha breaking

The most interesting thing in this report is http://techcrunch.com/2011/11/01/researchers-flood-facebook-with-bots-collect-250gb-of-user-data


- “Charge $1 per 1,000 successfully-broken CAPTCHAs,”

So if a captcha takes 5secs to read and enter the average person can make $5.70 per day doing nothing but captcha breaking?

5 secs per captcha
12 per 60 secs
720 per 60 mins
5760 per 8 hour day


Surely they have to be being paid more than that for data entry right?

Cheers,
Dean
