According to our latest data, the number of cyberattacks blocked by BitNinja has tripled compared to the previous period. At first glance, this might sound alarming. Are attackers really becoming that much more aggressive? Is it that servers are under greater risk than before? The short answer: yes, but that’s only part of the story.

The reality is a combination of three factors: the global surge in server-targeted cyberattacks, the growing size of our defense network, and the fact that BitNinja’s protection system has become more powerful and effective than ever.

Let’s dive deeper into each of these.

A more aggressive cyber landscape

The global volume of cyberattacks is on the rise. Over the last months, we’ve seen:

• Botnets scaling up: Automated attack networks are larger and more sophisticated than ever, enabling attackers to scan and exploit servers at unprecedented speed.
• Zero-days and CVEs weaponized faster: Newly discovered vulnerabilities are often exploited within hours of disclosure, leaving unpatched systems highly exposed.
• Opportunistic targeting: Attackers don’t discriminate. Whether you run a small VPS or a large enterprise infrastructure, if your server is online, it will be scanned and probed

This growing wave of malicious traffic explains a significant part of the 3x increase in incidents. In short: the internet is a more dangerou place than it was a year ago.

Stronger together: the power of BitNinja Defense Network

Another reason behind the growth in incidents is the strength of our global defense network.

Every server protected by BitNinja doesn’t just stay safe on its own, it becomes part of something bigger. Each server acts like a sensor, detecting and reporting suspicious activity. When one server is attacked, the information is instantly shared with the entire network, ensuring the same attack won’t work anywhere else.

As more servers join, our shield grows stronger and our view of the threat landscape becomes clearer. Put simply: we stopped 3x more incidents not just because attacks are increasing, but because our network is stronger, and now sees more of the internet than ever before.

Smarter detection, stronger protection

The third key reason behind the growth in incidents is simple: BitNinja itself has become stronger.

BitNinja is constantly learning. Each attack attempt adds to our knowledge, and every lesson makes the shield more effective. On top of that, we continuously develop and improve our system, making detection faster, more accurate, and more reliable than ever.

Stay ahead of the threats

The 3x increase in incidents shows one thing clearly: attackers aren’t slowing down. But with BitNinja, you don’t need to worry, our shield is getting stronger every day.
