Analysis period: 2026-01-17T18:00:01.215944 - 2026-01-18T00:00:01.215944 (6 hours)

Executive Summary

Global threat activity remains stable with a minor 1.6% decrease compared to the previous 6-hour period, consistent with the 7-day average. The Netherlands (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/NL" target="_blank">NL</a>) continues to dominate as the top source country, accounting for 37% of all threats, primarily driven by SSH brute force and web attacks. Nordic regions show minimal activity, with Sweden (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/SE" target="_blank">SE</a>) recording 6 events and Norway (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/NO" target="_blank">NO</a>) only 2, both within expected baselines. A cluster of Russian IPs (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/176.120.22.0" target="_blank">176.120.22.0</a>/24) stands out, exhibiting repeated SSH brute force attempts. Given the consistent patterns, no immediate escalation is warranted. Focus monitoring on NL-based SSH brute force attempts and the Russian IP cluster, which has been active for at least 48 hours. Routine noise from other regions can be deprioritized unless volume spikes.
