    Is it for all the web? I would never imagine that bots could use more traffic than all people watching videos around the world.

      skimming the “report”, which is actually just advertising for a security company, i don’t think they actually define web traffic anywhere. they might mean HTTP requests, sessions, unique IP addresses, who knows.

      if it’s based on actual observations it probably doesn’t mean throughput.

        I have just read in another thread that it’s a misleading headline. The actual study mentions only traffic in login pages. Now the numbers make total sense

    So even when we all die out from climate change events, bad memes will go on. Actually that’s weirdly comforting. Feels like a less good version of Walle, or something.

    This is what the majority of internet traffic is, and the overwhelming majority of these attacks are botted, no one goes for single-instance attacks.

    Edit with better map.
