Akamai's 2026 security report reveals commerce is now the most targeted industry by cybercriminals due to rising AI bot traffic, which makes up nearly 48% of commerce network activity. The report highlights increasing Layer 7 DDoS attacks, sophisticated AI-driven fraud using autonomous shopping agents, and growing API vulnerabilities. Attackers exploit AI to mimic human behavior, hijack AI assistants, and create synthetic identities, while phishing and malware threats also escalate.
