Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat volume decreased significantly, down 94.5% compared to the previous period, representing a major deviation from the typical high-volume baseline. This sharp decline is unusual and may indicate a temporary lull or a shift in attacker infrastructure. SSH brute force remains the dominant attack category. Nordic traffic is minimal and stable, with Sweden (11 events) showing routine, low-level activity consistent with its 7-day average. The top threat IPs are clustered within known hostile ASNs in Russia (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/176.120.22.0" target="_blank">176.120.22.0</a>/24) and Bulgaria, focusing on SSH attacks. This concentrated pattern is more significant than individual IPs. Focus defensive actions on the identified CIDR ranges from ASN 12389 (Russia) and other networks hosting these clusters. Consider implementing temporary geo-blocking or stricter rate-limiting rules for SSH traffic originating from these high-risk networks. Deprioritize individual IPs from the top list as they are ephemeral within these larger, persistent clusters.
