Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat volume increased by 10.2% compared to the previous 6-hour period, representing a notable deviation from recent baseline activity. SSH brute force attacks remain the dominant category, with a concentrated campaign originating from Dutch (ASNs in NL) and Russian (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/176.120.22.0" target="_blank">176.120.22.0</a>/24) infrastructure. Nordic region activity remains stable and low, consistent with typical background noise for the region. The observed increase is primarily driven by persistent, automated attack infrastructure rather than a novel threat. Focus on the CIDR ranges and ASNs hosting these campaigns, as individual IPs are ephemeral. Consider implementing temporary rate-limiting rules for SSH traffic originating from the identified Dutch and Russian network blocks. Deprioritize individual IP addresses from the top threats list, as they are likely to be replaced quickly. No immediate action is required for Nordic-facing threats given their routine low volume.
