To make sure you do not become another victim of spam bots, it’s important to understand how they work and what you can do to stop them before they completely take over your business. Spam bots are created with the intent of making malicious attacks on your website without human interaction, for example by spreading malicious links for unsuspecting users to click on, or even spreading disinformation for political reasons. Sending spam in high volumes overloads servers, causing websites to go offline and often prevents legitimate recipients from receiving important messages. A spam bot (or “spambot”) is a program that runs automated tasks over the internet to send out spam messages via email, forum posts and social media.
