Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat activity decreased by 21.3% compared to the previous 6-hour period, with 2,082 events recorded. This decline is consistent with typical weekend patterns, where attack volumes often drop. The top threat categories remain attacks (633 events) and botnet activity (353 events), primarily originating from Canada (522 events), the US (260), and China (142). Nordic countries show minimal deviations, with Sweden (8 events) and Norway (5) experiencing routine low-volume activity. Two Russian IPs (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/45.135.232.92" target="_blank">45.135.232.92</a> and <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/45.140.17.124" target="_blank">45.140.17.124</a>) were the most active, each linked to 13 SSH brute-force attempts. Defender Actions: Focus on rate-limiting SSH traffic from ASNs historically linked to brute-force campaigns, particularly those in Russia and Bulgaria. No immediate action is required for Nordic-facing traffic, as volumes align with baseline expectations. Prioritize monitoring for botnet C2 patterns in Canadian IP ranges.
