Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat activity decreased by 88.1% compared to the previous period, with 2,024 events observed. The Netherlands (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/NL" target="_blank">NL</a>) remains the top source, accounting for 30% of all threats, primarily malware C2 and SSH brute force. Nordic activity was minimal, with Sweden (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/SE" target="_blank">SE</a>) recording 3 SSH brute force attempts and Finland (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/FI" target="_blank">FI</a>) 2 web attacks. The top threat IPs were concentrated in NL, BG, and RU, all linked to SSH brute force campaigns. This sharp decline suggests potential attacker retooling or infrastructure shifts rather than reduced capability. Given the persistent SSH brute force patterns from NL ASNs, consider temporary rate-limiting for SSH traffic originating from Dutch CIDR ranges. Deprioritize individual IP blocking unless part of the clustered attack patterns. No immediate action is required for the low-volume Nordic incidents.
