Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat volume increased by 4.6% to 2,968 events, remaining consistent with the 7-day average and representing routine background noise. 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 Bulgaria was notably persistent. Nordic regions saw minimal activity (8 total events), with Finland accounting for half; this is normal for the region. The threat landscape remains stable, dominated by malware C2 and automated attacks from the US and Netherlands. No new campaigns emerged; all observed activity is established. Focus defensive actions on the persistent SSH brute force clusters from specific ASNs rather than individual, ephemeral IPs. Consider implementing temporary rate-limiting or geo-blocking rules for the identified CIDR ranges exhibiting concentrated attack patterns. Deprioritize the low-volume Nordic events as they align with expected baseline noise.
