Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat activity increased by 67.3% compared to the previous 6-hour period, with malware C2 (511 events) and attacks (444 events) dominating. The Netherlands (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/NL" target="_blank">NL</a>) remains the top source country (450 events), followed by the US (217) and China (124). Nordic activity remains low, with Norway (8 events) showing slightly elevated web-based attacks. Russian IP <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/45.140.17.124" target="_blank">45.140.17.124</a> was the most active (15 attacks), focusing on SSH bruteforce. This surge aligns with recent malware campaign patterns but exceeds typical daytime volumes. Consider temporarily blocking SSH bruteforce patterns from NL ASNs, particularly those targeting web applications. Deprioritize individual IPs from low-volume Nordic sources unless they match known attack clusters.
