Analysis period: 2025-12-29T18:00:01.408345 - 2025-12-30T00:00:01.408345 (6 hours)
Executive Summary
Global threat activity decreased by 35% compared to the previous 6-hour period, with 2,660 events observed. This aligns with typical weekend patterns, where attack volumes often fluctuate. SSH brute force attacks remain prevalent, particularly from Dutch and Russian IPs (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/45.135.232.92" target="_blank">45.135.232.92</a>, <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/159.223.14.232" target="_blank">159.223.14.232</a>). Nordic activity remains low, with Finland showing slightly elevated brute force attempts (17 events), consistent with its 7-day average. No new campaigns or infrastructure clusters were detected. Consider temporary rate-limiting for SSH traffic from ASNs frequently associated with brute force attacks, particularly those in the Netherlands (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/asn-intelligence/20473" target="_blank">AS20473</a>, <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/asn-intelligence/24940" target="_blank">AS24940</a>). Deprioritize individual IP blocking unless part of sustained clusters, as most are ephemeral.
