The issue has been reported by the owner of the website [www.diretomt.com.br](https://www.diretomt.com.br), who has received multiple complaints from users facing the Cloudflare "Verify you are human" CAPTCHA screen. The owner has taken several steps to resolve the issue, including disabling security features such as the Security Level, Bot Fight Mode, and Browser Integrity Check [1].
Investigations into the issue have revealed that the CAPTCHA challenges are not being triggered by malicious bots but rather by legitimate users. The owner of the website has suggested that the challenges may be a result of a compromised script on the website, as the CAPTCHA appears to be loading from the server site code rather than from Cloudflare [1].
The issue has been reported to Cloudflare, and the company is currently investigating the problem. In the meantime, users who encounter the CAPTCHA challenge are advised to avoid copying and pasting any information requested by the challenge, as this could potentially compromise their security [1].
Cloudflare's service is designed to protect email addresses on websites from spammers by hiding them and requiring JavaScript to be enabled to decode the address. This feature helps prevent malicious bots from accessing email addresses on websites. Interested users can sign up for Cloudflare to protect their own websites in a similar way [2].

Legitimate users of websites protected by Cloudflare are facing repeated human verification challenges, according to recent reports. This issue has been particularly evident for users accessing websites from residential IPs without the use of VPNs, proxies, or automation tools.
