 "Nearly 1.1 billion cyberattacks blocked worldwide in Q2FY24: Report")
As many as 1.1 billion cyberattacks were blocked worldwide in the second quarter of calendar year 2023 (April-June), says a new survey. Of that number, 947 million attacks were blocked in India.

A bot attack uses automated web requests to disrupt a website, application, or user.
