Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat volume increased by 39.4% compared to the previous 6-hour period, representing a significant deviation from typical baseline activity. This surge is primarily driven by malware C2 (656 events) and attack traffic (498 events), with notable SSH brute force activity from a concentrated cluster of IPs in Russia (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/asn-intelligence/12389" target="_blank">AS12389</a>, <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/176.120.22.0" target="_blank">176.120.22.0</a>/24) and the Netherlands. Nordic traffic remains stable and within expected parameters for Sweden (15 events) and Norway (8 events), showing no deviation from their regional baselines. The activity is not new but represents an amplification of existing campaigns. Consider implementing temporary network blocks or aggressive rate-limiting on the identified /24 CIDR ranges from <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/asn-intelligence/12389" target="_blank">AS12389</a> and key Dutch hosting providers, as these clusters are the primary source of the volumetric increase. Deprioritize individual IP addresses in favor of these broader patterns to effectively mitigate the campaign.
