Screenshot of the executive summary of Imperva's 2023 Bad Bot Report, sub-titled "Nearly half to the internet traffic in 2022 was bots" and reading: "Of all internet traffic in 2022, 47.4% was automated traffic, also commonly referred to as bots. "Compared to 42.3% in 2021, that is a 5.1% increase. Of that automated traffic, 30.2% were bad bots, a 2.5% increase from 27.7% in 2021. Good bots are on the rise too, accounting for 17.3% compared to 14.6% in 2021. "Alarmingly, the percentage of human traffic continues its downward trend, from 57.7% in 2021 to 52.6% in 2022 – a 5.1% decrease. "Of all the attacks recorded by Imperva in the past year, 27% were bad bots that abuse business logic and 26% were other types of automated threats." Below that is a donut-shaped pie chart showing the same statistics of 2022's website traffic compared to 2021's: • 52.6% human share of traffic, down by 5.1%; • 17.3% good bot share of traffic, up by 2.7%; and • 30.2% bad bot traffic share of traffic, up by 2.5%.
