Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat activity changed by several orders of magnitude (1,890 → 34,866 events), with malware C2 traffic dominating (17,763 events) and China (15,421) as the top source. This represents a significant deviation from the 7-day average, suggesting coordinated activity rather than routine noise. Nordic countries show stable patterns, with Sweden (298 events) and Finland (78) maintaining typical attack profiles. The top malicious IPs (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/124.70.53.181" target="_blank">124.70.53.181</a>, <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/113.47.6.97" target="_blank">113.47.6.97</a>) are part of a known Chinese malware C2 cluster active since mid-December. Consider temporary blocking of /24 ranges associated with these IPs, as individual IPs rotate frequently. Deprioritize spam (5,132 events) as it aligns with historical baselines. Swedish brute-force attempts warrant monitoring but do not yet require intervention.
