The city-state ranked fourth, accounting for 11% of all bot attacks in the region. In Singapore, malicious bots now account for 45% of all internet traffic, a significant increase from 35% in 2023. Bad bots were most prevalent in the gambling (99.96%), gaming (97%), and automotive (89%) sectors. In addition, Singapore’s travel (33%), retail (32%) and gaming (13%) sectors are most plagued by advanced bots. Hong Kong and Indonesia recorded the highest percentage of bot attacks at 24% each, making up nearly half of the region’s total bot activity. According to Thales’ 2025 Imperva Bad Bot Report, Hong Kong’s role as a global financial hub and gateway to China makes it a top target for cybercriminals exploiting banking, fintech, and e-commerce platforms. Indonesia’s large, fast-growing digital economy and weaker cybersecurity have made it highly vulnerable to bot-driven fraud and credential stuffing attacks. Australia ranked third, accounting for 18% of bot attacks. Its developed financial sector, e-commerce market, and critical infrastructure continue to attract credential and automated fraud schemes. ## Related News & Research - [SpaceX aims to file for IPO as soon as this week, The Information reports](https://longbridge.com/en/news/280386478.md) - [Erasca’s HERKULES-3 Trial Reaches Completion: What Investors Should Watch in ERAS-007](https://longbridge.com/en/news/280505172.md) - [Great Pacific Gold Confirms Broad Mineralized Zone at Kavasuki Target in Papua New Guinea](https://longbridge.com/en/news/280505867.md) - [Laopu Gold Co.
