Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat volume decreased significantly, down 38.1% from the previous period, representing a notable deviation from the higher baseline. SSH brute-force remains the dominant attack vector, with two Russian IPs (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/176.120.22.47" target="_blank">176.120.22.47</a>/13) from the same cluster being particularly active. Nordic countries show stable, low-level activity consistent with their typical background noise, with no concerning deviations from their baselines. The concentration of attacks from Dutch (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/NL" target="_blank">NL</a>) and Russian (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/RU" target="_blank">RU</a>) networks underscores a persistent pattern of infrastructure abuse. Focus on the originating ASNs and CIDR blocks, not the ephemeral IPs themselves. Consider implementing temporary geo-fencing or rate-limiting rules for traffic originating from high-risk ASNs in Russia and the Netherlands, particularly for SSH services. The overall decrease allows teams to prioritize investigating these concentrated attack clusters over the generalized lower-volume noise.
