Threat Intelligence Briefing
Analysis period: 2025-12-30T00:00:01.345392 - 2025-12-30T06:00:01.345392 (6 hours)
Executive Summary
Global threat activity changed by several orders of magnitude (2,788 → 18,087 events), with spam, malware C2, and attacks dominating. The US, Netherlands, and China remain top origin countries, while Nordic regions show stable but elevated SSH brute-force attempts. Sweden (119 events) and Finland (30) exhibit consistent patterns from prior periods, primarily attacks and botnet activity. No new campaigns emerged; this surge aligns with known infrastructure reuse. Focus on ASN-level blocking for Dutch (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/NL" target="_blank">NL</a>) and Russian (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/RU" target="_blank">RU</a>) networks showing concentrated SSH brute-force patterns. Temporary rate-limiting for /24 ranges from these regions is justified by volume. Deprioritize individual IPs from South Korea (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/KR" target="_blank">KR</a>) as they represent routine noise.
