Threat Intelligence Briefing

The global threat landscape showed a 5.3% decrease in activity over the past 6 hours, with 337 threats detected from 257 unique IPs across 46 countries. SSH bruteforce attacks dominated (82% of total), primarily originating from China (55 IPs), Netherlands (37), and Singapore (34). Nordic regions remained unaffected, with no recorded threats. Notable attack sources included <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/45.140.17.124" target="_blank">45.140.17.124</a> (Russia, 12 attacks) and <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/195.178.110.30" target="_blank">195.178.110.30</a> (Bulgaria, 11 attacks), both targeting SSH services. Three Dutch IPs (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/209.38.111.10" target="_blank">209.38.111.10</a>, <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/209.38.105.36" target="_blank">209.38.105.36</a>, <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/167.71.6.225" target="_blank">167.71.6.225</a>) accounted for 18 attacks combined. No Tor exit nodes or significant ISP patterns were observed. Organizations should prioritize SSH hardening, monitoring Russian and Bulgarian IP ranges, and implementing rate-limiting for authentication attempts. The absence of Nordic threats suggests current defenses are effective, but vigilance against SSH-focused campaigns remains critical.
