Executive Summary

Global threat activity decreased sharply by 95.5% compared to the previous period, with 1,943 total threats detected. The Netherlands (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/NL" target="_blank">NL</a>), US, and China (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/CN" target="_blank">CN</a>) remain the top source countries, consistent with historical patterns. Nordic activity remains low, with Sweden (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/SE" target="_blank">SE</a>) showing the highest volume (11 events) primarily from attacks and brute force attempts. Russia (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/RU" target="_blank">RU</a>)-linked IP <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/45.135.232.92" target="_blank">45.135.232.92</a> was the most active single source, targeting SSH services. This decline likely reflects normal weekend activity reduction rather than a tactical shift by threat actors. Given the low volume, defenders should prioritize monitoring SSH brute force attempts from known high-risk ASNs (particularly RU/NL/BG) rather than reactive blocking. Deprioritize investigation of single-event IPs unless targeting critical assets.
