# Singapore reports 11% of APAC bot attacks

**Malicious bots now drive 45% of Singapore’s internet traffic.**

In 2024 Singapore was amongst the most targeted countries targeted by bot attacks in APAC, Thales reported.

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.
