Threat Intelligence Briefing
Analysis period: 2026-01-23T18:00:02.167428 - 2026-01-24T00:00:02.167428 (6 hours)
Executive Summary
Global threat activity decreased by 41.4% compared to the previous 6-hour period, consistent with typical weekend patterns. SSH brute-force attacks remain the dominant category, with Russian (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/176.120.22.0" target="_blank">176.120.22.0</a>/24) and Dutch (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/206.189.104.0" target="_blank">206.189.104.0</a>/24) IPs showing clustered activity. Nordic countries saw minimal activity (2 events each in Finland and Sweden), aligning with their low baseline. The RU and NL CIDR ranges warrant attention due to persistent SSH targeting across multiple reporting periods. Consider temporary rate-limiting for SSH traffic from <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/asn-intelligence/49505" target="_blank">AS49505</a> (Russia) and <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/asn-intelligence/49505" target="_blank">AS49505</a> (Netherlands) based on sustained patterns. Deprioritize individual IPs from Romania (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/2.57.122.0" target="_blank">2.57.122.0</a>/24) as they show no escalation beyond historical norms. No new infrastructure or TOR exit nodes were observed.
