Threat Intelligence Briefing
Analysis period: 2026-01-18T18:00:01.352878 - 2026-01-19T00:00:01.352878 (6 hours)
Executive Summary
Global threat activity decreased by 38.9% vs the previous period, with SSH brute force and web attacks remaining dominant. The Netherlands (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/NL" target="_blank">NL</a>) continues as the top source, accounting for 36% of attacks, while Nordic countries show minimal deviations from baseline (Finland highest at 9 events). Two Russian IPs (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/176.120.22.0" target="_blank">176.120.22.0</a>/24 subnet) appear in the top attack sources, suggesting sustained probing from this range. Activity aligns with typical noise levels observed over the past week. Focus on monitoring SSH brute force patterns from NL and RU ASNs, particularly those targeting default credentials. Temporary rate-limiting for these ranges may reduce noise while preserving legitimate access. Nordic detections remain low-priority unless localized spikes occur.
