Executive Summary
Global threat activity changed by several orders of magnitude (2,292 → 18,243 events), with malware C2 and spam dominating. This represents a significant deviation from the 7-day average, driven by coordinated campaigns from US, NL, and CN-based infrastructure. Nordic activity remained stable, with Sweden (55 events) and Finland (43) showing routine patterns. 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> led SSH brute-force attacks, consistent with known botnet TTPs. Consider temporary blocking of /24 ranges from <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/asn-intelligence/49505" target="_blank">AS49505</a> (Russia) and <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/asn-intelligence/14061" target="_blank">AS14061</a> (Netherlands) due to concentrated attack patterns. Deprioritize individual IPs from sporadic scanners in DK/NO given low baseline volumes.
