Can reCaptcha prevent from carding attacks?
Kindly keep in mind that Google reCaptcha is a bot protection. At the same time, carding can be both from bots and from humans. When it comes to protection against bots, the captcha initializes protection when a customer clicks the default Place Order button, and if it recognizes the customer as a bot, it does not allow proceeding with the payment.
However, please note that captcha generally does not prevent human carding attacks. The initial check happens before the customer enters the card details. And on this step - entering details - it's the specific payment method security that should deal with it (for example, 3D Secure).
