Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat activity decreased by 63.4% compared to the previous 6-hour period, with 3,210 events observed. This reduction is consistent with typical weekend patterns, where lower volumes are expected. SSH brute force remains the dominant attack vector, originating primarily from the Netherlands (556 events) and China (432 events). Nordic countries show stable activity, with Norway recording 30 events, Sweden 19, and Finland 12, all within expected baselines. The top attacking IPs (e.g., <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/5.187.35.21" target="_blank">5.187.35.21</a>, <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/45.135.232.92" target="_blank">45.135.232.92</a>) are linked to known SSH brute force campaigns. Given the routine nature of these attacks, defenders should focus on rate-limiting SSH traffic from high-risk ASNs (e.g., those hosting the top IPs) rather than blocking individual IPs. No immediate action is required for Nordic networks, as activity aligns with historical norms.
