- Rise in accessible AI tools significantly lowered the barrier to entry for cyber attackers, enabling them to create and deploy malicious bots at scale
- For the first time in a decade, automated traffic surpassed human activity, accounting for 51% of all web traffic
- API-directed attacks surged to 44% of advanced bot traffic, with the travel sector topping the list for bot attacks overall
I’m still holding out on saying dead Internet theory is inevitable. With projects like Anubis and, hell, even projects like Nepenthes ( the one that confuses the AI by sending them to garbage site pages with enough “data” to trap them ), I think it’s more than possible for us to beat the AI by creating our own web 2.5 to keep ourselves safe from the outside.
