Cybercriminals targeting Web applications have grown more reliant on automated tools. Barracuda Networks researchers analyzed two months of attack data. Fuzzing attacks (19.46%) were most prevalent, followed by injection attacks (12.07%) and fake bots (1.2%) Application DDoS attacks (9.29%) were also most prevalent. Most attack traffic came from fuzzing, or reconnaissance, tools used to probe apps for bugs, researchers say. The larger amount of traffic comes from attackers who don’t try to target a specific website but deploy automated attacks at scale.”]
