Almost a third of all internet traffic registered in 2023 was generated by bad bots, a new report has claimed.
An internet bot is a piece of software that runs automated tasks on the internet, such as messaging, on a large scale. Bad bots, on the other hand, do all sorts of malicious activity, such as web scraping, account takeover, spam, or denial of service. They degrade online services and force businesses into higher investments in customer support and internet infrastructure.
