Oh I know it sucks, but have you been on the other platforms? They are much worse for security… It’s not a Shopify platform issue, it’s an internet issue. Only 49% of all internet traffic came from humans last year, and 37% were malicious bots. It’s everywhere, in everything. APIs are inherently vulnerable to bots and data scraping, attacks on which account for 44% of all advanced bot traffic. They’rein the financial market mostly. But for ecommerce, Black Friday traffic is a frenzy of bots, with an annual average of 35% being data scraping bots.
I know everyone want to sync their products to tiktok, but little do they know that their web crawler, ByteSpider, makes up 54% of all blocked bot traffic for some bot blockers.
