A smaller number of reports are seen in Denmark and Norway. No specific ISPs or hosting providers are standing out this period. No notable Tor exit node traffic was detected. Focus should be placed on monitoring the 42.112.26.0/24 network, given the activity of 42.112.26.45 as a botnet and malware command and control server. Defenders should be vigilant for lateral movement following initial compromise, given the prevalence of suspicious activity. Continue to monitor the other IPs listed in the top_ips section of the report for similar activity.
