It's a good time to take the defense by surprise ... nothing more, but we have to consider that it is just a tentative. I have found very interesting the data on bad bot originator by country, in particular...

I agree with the logic of launching attacks when no one is looking as well. However, it also corresponds to the start of the business day in countries such as China, where many attacks originate.
