Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat activity decreased sharply by 91.1% compared to the previous 6-hour period, with 1,824 events recorded. SSH brute force attacks (321 events) and general attacks (502 events) remain the dominant categories, primarily originating from Canada (238), the US (208), and the Netherlands (171). Nordic countries show minimal activity, with Finland and Norway each recording 3 events, consistent with their typical low baseline. Russian IPs <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/45.140.17.124" target="_blank">45.140.17.124</a> and <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/45.135.232.92" target="_blank">45.135.232.92</a> were the most active, focusing on SSH brute force. The drop in volume suggests possible botnet retraction or infrastructure migration. Given the persistent SSH brute force patterns, defenders should prioritize monitoring and temporary blocking of Russian and Dutch ASNs known for such activity. The low Nordic threat levels require no immediate action beyond routine filtering of known malicious IPs.
