A new cyber threat, HTTPBot, is making waves in the digital world, particularly targeting the gaming and tech industries. Unlike traditional botnets that rely on overwhelming traffic, HTTPBot employs stealth and precision to disrupt critical business functions.
First detected in August 2024, HTTPBot has since launched over 200 targeted attacks, primarily focusing on gaming companies, tech firms, and educational institutions. Its modus operandi involves mimicking legitimate user behavior, making it difficult for standard security measures to detect and mitigate its actions.
What sets HTTPBot apart is its ability to simulate real browser interactions, including cookie processing and dynamic URL paths. This level of sophistication allows it to bypass traditional defenses and maintain persistent attacks on high-value targets like game login and payment systems.
The emergence of HTTPBot signifies a shift in cyberattack strategies, moving from broad, indiscriminate assaults to focused, business-critical disruptions. This evolution underscores the need for organizations to adopt advanced cybersecurity measures that can detect and respond to such nuanced threats.
