While highly effective, Attack Mode can sometimes block legitimate traffic, particularly if set to a high sensitivity level. This can lead to user experience issues. It's important to monitor your analytics and adjust the settings accordingly to minimize false positives. Also, extremely aggressive settings could potentially block legitimate bots used for search engine optimization (SEO).
