Executive Summary
Global threat volume decreased by 33.9% versus the previous period, representing a significant deviation from the recent elevated baseline. This decline is consistent across all major categories and geographies. Nordic region activity remains at routine, low levels; Sweden (16 events) and Finland (11) show typical background noise, while Norway (3) and Denmark (1) are stable. The top threat IPs, predominantly from 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 Bulgaria, are part of a known, persistent SSH brute force campaign active for weeks, not a new emergent threat. Focus defensive actions on the persistent SSH brute force campaign originating from known CIDR blocks like <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/176.120.22.0" target="_blank">176.120.22.0</a>/24 rather than individual IPs. Consider temporary blocking or aggressive rate-limiting for these entire network ranges. The overall decrease in volume allows teams to deprioritize reactive measures and focus on hardening SSH configurations against these sustained, low-volume attacks.
