Executive Summary
Global threat volume changed by several orders of magnitude, surging from 1,999 to 21,338 events. This represents a significant deviation from typical behavior, with spam, attacks, and malware C2 dominating. Nordic activity remains relatively stable; Sweden (128 events) and Finland (66) show expected noise levels across anonymizer, brute force, and web attacks, consistent with their 7-day averages. The top threat IPs are concentrated in ASNs from DE, RU, US, and NL, primarily conducting SSH brute force and botnet C2 activities. Focus defensive actions on the identified high-volume ASN ranges from Germany, Russia, and the Netherlands rather than ephemeral individual IPs. Consider implementing temporary rate-limiting for SSH traffic originating from these networks. Deprioritize individual events from the Nordics as they represent routine background scanning and opportunistic attacks.
