Threat Intelligence Briefing
Analysis period: 2026-01-13T18:00:01.582801 - 2026-01-14T00:00:01.582801 (6 hours)
Executive Summary
Global threat activity decreased by 29.2% compared to the previous 6-hour period, aligning with typical weekend patterns. SSH brute force remains the dominant attack vector, with Dutch (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/NL" target="_blank">NL</a>) and Russian (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/RU" target="_blank">RU</a>) IPs responsible for 42% of such attempts. Nordic countries show minimal activity, with Sweden recording 4 events across 3 IPs—consistent with baseline noise. The top threat IPs (<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>) exhibit concentrated SSH brute force patterns, suggesting automated campaigns rather than targeted attacks. Prioritize monitoring ASNs hosting these IPs (e.g., <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/asn-intelligence/9009" target="_blank">AS9009</a> for NL traffic) and implement temporary rate-limiting on SSH ports from high-volume CIDRs (/24 ranges from NL/RU). Deprioritize individual IP blocks given rapid rotation in brute force sources.
