APIs have evolved from simple RPCs to modern RESTful interfaces, enabling faster integration and widespread adoption. However, this growth has attracted attackers who exploit APIs’ exposure of business logic. Using massive botnets, threat actors automate attacks to scale their efforts, making adversarial hacking faster and more effective. Bots play a critical role in API attacks by overwhelming systems, probing for vulnerabilities, and bypassing traditional defenses, highlighting the need for advanced security measures to protect APIs from these increasingly sophisticated threats.
