Executive Summary
Global threat activity changed by several orders of magnitude (2,022 → 15,578 events), with spam, attacks, and malware_c2 dominating. The US, Netherlands, and China remain top sources, but Russia's <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/176.120.22.0" target="_blank">176.120.22.0</a>/24 subnet shows concentrated SSH brute force activity. Nordic traffic remains stable, with Sweden and Norway seeing routine attack patterns (143 and 132 events respectively), primarily brute force and web attacks. Denmark and Finland show no deviations from baseline. Consider temporary blocking of Russian <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/176.120.22.0" target="_blank">176.120.22.0</a>/24 due to persistent SSH brute force clustering. Deprioritize individual IPs from the Netherlands (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/206.189.5.32" target="_blank">206.189.5.32</a>) as they represent ephemeral noise within expected ranges.
