HumanSecurity-The-State-of-AI-Traffic-and-Cyberthreat-Benchmark-Report-2026.md

The 2026 State of AI Traffic & Cyberthreat Benchmark Report shows AI-driven and agentic automation surged in 2025—monthly AI traffic nearly tripled and agentic traffic grew ~7,851%—and that this automation is reshaping attack surfaces: scraping is approaching ~20% of traffic, post-login ATO attempts quadrupled (avg. 402,000 per customer), carding and fake-account creation volumes rose dramatically, and attackers are abusing agentic browsers/agents and spoofed crawler identities; the report highlights concentrated risk in retail/e‑commerce, streaming/media, and travel/hospitality and urges building trust infrastructure to distinguish benign from malicious automation.
