GiftGhostBot the malicious bot attempting to compromise gift cards across 1,000 websites

A malicious bot is seeking to compromise gift cards purchased and activated by consumers across nearly 1,000 websites. Researchers at Distil Networks first detected the bot, which theyve nicknamed GiftGhostBot, on 26 February 2017. Some of these websites saw over 4 million requests per hour on their gift card pages alone. GiftGhostBot rotated between these agents, host providers, and data centers in order to avoid detection and to persist even if sysadmins blocked one of its techniques.”]
