A Quarter of Website Traffic is Bad Bots
Info Security
New research published today by Imperva has found that bad bots made up nearly a quarter of overall website traffic in 2019.
The report was built from data collected from Imperva’s global network and includes hundreds of billions of bad bot requests anonymized over thousands of domains.
Bad bots are responsible for a whole host of problems, including account takeover, price and content scraping, and the creation of spam-spreading accounts on messaging platforms and dating sites.
According to the 2020 edition of Imperva's annual "Bad Bot" report, in 2019, bad bot traffic rose to its highest ever percentage of 24.1 percent of all traffic. Eerily, 37.2% of all traffic on the internet last year wasn't human.
