"Billions of Malicious Bot Attacks Take to Cipher-Stunting to Hide"

In addition to the growing advancement of malware development, cybercriminals are also increasing the complexity of the ways in which they evade detection. According to researchers at Akamai, attackers have been observed to be increasing their use of a TLS tampering technique, called cipher stunting, which masks malicious bot activity as live human traffic on the web, thus allowing detection attempts to be evaded. This article continues to discuss the concept, increased performance, and targets of cipher stunting.
