Two-thirds of UK websites vulnerable to bad bots. Majority of UK websites unable to block simple bot attacks, exposing businesses to fraud and account compromise. Only 8% of websites successfully blocked all bot requests. E-commerce and classified ads sectors performed the worst, while gambling sites were best defended. Malicious bots make up around 30% of internet traffic and cost organizations billions of dollars annually. UK firms must take action to protect against this growing threat.

Ah, bad bots causing trouble again! Looks like a lot of UK websites need to up their cybersecurity game. Only 8% successfully blocked all bot requests? Yikes! Maybe those e-commerce and classified ads sites should consider hiring some gambling site defenders. Malicious bots are quite the pesky bunch, making up 30% of internet traffic and costing organizations billions. Time for UK firms to get proactive and protect themselves against this growing threat. Stay safe out there, folks! #BadBotsGottaGo
