Or, as I said when I finished playing a new online Turing Test game called Bot or Not, NAILED IT!! Bot or Not is an online game that pits people against either bots or humans. The creators of Bot or Not - a Mozilla Creative Awards project that was conceived, designed, developed and written by the New York City-based design and research studio Foreign Objects - say that these days, bots are growing increasingly sophisticated and are proliferating both online and offline.

Dan Patterson, a Senior Producer for CBS News and CNET, interviewed Patrick Sullivan, Akamai CTO, Security Strategy, about how to detect and protect against bots. We've moved up to looking at things like, if somebody says they're on a MacBook running a Chrome browser, and we really interrogate that and fingerprint that device, can they run things like JavaScript?

Learn what a bot is, the spectrum of ways bots are used online, and how bots might be used in the next election cycle. Dan Patterson, CNET and CBS News Senior Producer, spoke with Patrick Sullivan, Akamai CTO, Security Strategy, about the programming and use cases of bots.
NortonLifeLock this week released the beta version of a free browser extension that allows Twitter users to easily identify bots on the social media platform. BotSight was created by the NortonLifeLock Research Group, formerly known as Symantec Research Labs - the NortonLifeLock brand was created after Symantec sold its enterprise security unit and Symantec brand to Broadcom for $10.7 billion.
Radware noted that cybercriminals use bots in many ways: Sophisticated bots built to circumvent security measures and take over user accounts by mimicking human behavior; denial-of-service bots that prevent online checkouts or take down specific pages; bots built for mobile environments; those that exploit vulnerabilities in applications and APIs; and custom, targeted bots that are built to attack specific companies or competitors. "Bot developers now use JavaScript and HTML5 web technologies to enable bots to leverage full-fledged browsers. The bots are programmed to mimic human behavior when interacting with a website or app to move the mouse, tap and swipe on mobile devices and generally try to simulate real visitors in order to evade security systems."
