Botnets are globally responsible for over 95% of malicious web traffic, according to research conducted by managed cybersecurity provider Trustwave.
For the research, Trustwave implemented a network of honeypots located in multiple countries including Russia, Ukraine, Poland, the UK, China, and the US.
“By distributing honeypots in such a manner, we can gather a reliable set of information on the methods and techniques used by attackers and their botnets, allowing a comprehensive understanding of the current database threat landscape,” Trustwave said in the research.
