Map of botnet hosts by country
Flagged networks per million IPv4 addresses allocated to the country by its RIR. Absolute counts mostly show where the large hosting and data center networks are; the rate shows how much of a country's address space is involved. Countries with less than 262,144 allocated addresses or fewer than 20 flagged networks get no rate.

Networks hosting the most botnet hosts
Autonomous systems announcing the most IPv4 networks flagged as botnet hosts. Large hosting providers appear here because attackers rent their servers, not necessarily because of the operator.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which country has the most botnet hosts?
- In the snapshot of 2026-10-10, India has the most botnet hosts in absolute terms (412 flagged networks), followed by the United States (285). Per million allocated IPv4 addresses, Pakistan ranks first (25.3). Absolute counts mostly follow where large hosting networks are; the rate shows how much of a country's address space is involved.
- What is a botnet host?
- Infected hosts taking part in a botnet.
- How are botnet hosts counted on this map?
- Flagged addresses are counted as /24 networks: all listed addresses within one /24 count once, and larger ranges count as a single /24. A network listed in several categories is counted once, in the most specific category (C2 before phishing, botnet, brute force, spam, scanner and other malicious activity), so the categories add up to the country total. Address space that is not announced in BGP is left out.
- How often is the data updated?
- Once a day. Every snapshot uses the listings that are active on that day, aggregated from multiple external and internal threat intelligence sources; listings that are no longer reported drop out of the next snapshot.
