Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat activity surged by 386% compared to the previous 6-hour period, primarily driven by malware C2 traffic (5,856 events) and attacks (878 events). The Netherlands (703 events) and the US (287) remain top origin countries, with Russian IP <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/45.135.232.92" target="_blank">45.135.232.92</a> leading brute-force attempts. Nordic activity remains stable, with Finland (13 events) showing expected SSH and web attack patterns. This spike correlates with known Emotet infrastructure reactivation. Given the concentrated malware C2 traffic from ASNs in NL and RU CIDR ranges, consider temporary rate-limiting for these networks. Prioritize investigating SSH brute-force clusters over individual IPs, as these represent coordinated campaigns. Deprioritize low-volume web attacks (213 events) unless targeting critical assets.
