Wallarm Releases API Honeypot Report Highlighting API Attack Trends

Wallarm’s press release highlights findings from its globally distributed API honeypot, showing APIs have overtaken web apps as prime targets, with new endpoints discovered in as little as 29 seconds and exploited within a minute. Over half of observed traffic was API-specific and 40% targeted known CVEs, while attackers leveraged batched requests for rapid data exfiltration and probed a range of ports beyond the common ones. The report underscores heightened risk for widely used API products and urges stronger API governance and protection measures.
