The SlickJump network closely tracks the technologies for creating robot programs and their activity on the Internet, as this affects the assessment of traffic and the overall strategy for promoting goods and services on the RuNet," commented on the results of the study, Anton Ermakov, malaysia cell phone number list executive director of SlickJump.

, also draws attention to the increase in bot activity: "Since November 5, we have been observing an increase in the intensity of bot attacks on the retail sector - in particular, on companies in the field of sales of pharmaceutical products, home and repair goods, household appliances and electronics. These are mainly attacks on the enumeration of the product catalog (content scraping) and the enumeration of credentials for entering personal accounts/loyalty programs (credential stuffing). The growth of such activity is mainly due to the period of approaching sales: for example, the 11.11 sale is a golden time for bots. Bot activity is generated by demand in the market for categorized open data - it is higher when this data changes faster and, accordingly, costs more."

Further, according to Georgy Tarasov, we should expect an increase in activity: "We expect an increase in the intensity and frequency of bot attacks in the coming week and until the end of November, then - a small "breather" before the New Year sales, promotions and prize draws. The profile of a typical bot attack: duration from 20 minutes to two hours, 3000-5000 unique bots, attack intensity of 8-12 thousand requests per minute, that is, one bot makes only two or three requests per minute."
