It takes an average of four months to detect bot attacks, with 97% admitting it takes over a month to respond, according to the report. Seventy-two percent of suffered attacks originated in China and 66% from Russia, the latter increasing 82% over two years. 

Forty percent of businesses report attacks on their APIs, whilst attacks on mobile apps have overtaken website attacks for the first time.
