Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat activity decreased by 89.9% compared to the previous period, aligning with typical weekend patterns. SSH brute force and malware C2 remain dominant, with Russia (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/RU" target="_blank">RU</a>) and the Netherlands (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/NL" target="_blank">NL</a>) as top origin countries. Nordic regions show minimal activity, with Finland recording only 3 events. The top attacking IPs (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/45.140.17.124" target="_blank">45.140.17.124</a>, <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/134.209.88.38" target="_blank">134.209.88.38</a>) exhibit concentrated SSH brute force attempts, consistent with known botnet behavior. No new campaigns emerged; all observed threats have been active for weeks. Consider temporary rate-limiting on SSH traffic from ASNs historically linked to brute force clusters, particularly those originating from NL and RU. Routine scanning from these regions does not warrant immediate blocking but merits continued monitoring. Deprioritize isolated web attacks unless volume increases beyond baseline levels.
