The cybercrime economy is thriving, driven by financially motivated bad actors who have established lucrative “dark” businesses in the light of day. Bad actors prioritize efficiency to maximize their illicit earnings, using bots for everything from buying up coveted concert tickets to draining bank accounts to even more sinister endeavors to human trafficking. Bad bot attacks increased 167%, according to recent research conducted by Arkose Labs. This traffic, coupled with the shift to human fraud farms when bots are blocked, has created a massive problem that threatens digital businesses and the safety of online consumers.



The activities of Storm-1152 illustrate the role malicious bots play and the influence of cybercrime marketplaces. Arkose Labs helped Microsoft disrupt the activities of Storm-1152 after the group bilked enterprises and consumers globally out of millions of dollars. 



This SC Panelcast will unpack the role of bad bot traffic and the damage it can inflict, while offering guidance to help security teams fight back.



Panelists include CyberRisk Alliance SVP of Content Bill Brenner, Kevin Gosschalk, founder and CEO of Arkose Labs, and a banking-sector CISO whose organization experienced the threat.



The panel will explore: The current state of bad bots, including their evolution, prevalence, and distribution across various online platforms, and their impact on Internet traffic. Bot abuse analysis from Arkose Labs’ comprehensive Bot Abuse Analysis Report, highlighting notable trends, patterns, and case studies that demonstrate the diverse range of industries affected by bad bot attacks.
