Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat activity decreased sharply by 89.4% compared to the previous 6-hour period, with 1,723 total threats observed. This drop is unusual given the typically stable baseline, suggesting potential attacker retooling or infrastructure shifts. The Netherlands (356 events) and Russia (47 events) remain key sources, with Russian IPs <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/176.120.22.47" target="_blank">176.120.22.47</a> and <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/176.120.22.13" target="_blank">176.120.22.13</a> notably active in SSH brute-force attacks. Nordic activity was minimal, with Finland recording only 3 events. SSH-related attacks dominated (39% of total), consistent with recent patterns. Given the concentrated nature of SSH attacks from specific ASNs, consider temporarily rate-limiting traffic from known malicious CIDR ranges in NL and RU, particularly for port 22. Deprioritize individual IP blocking unless part of these clusters, as new IPs frequently replace blocked ones in brute-force campaigns.
