Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat volume decreased by 88% compared to the previous period, representing a significant deviation from the high-intensity activity observed earlier. This sharp decline is unusual and suggests a potential lull or shift in attacker operations. Nordic activity remains low and routine; Sweden and Norway show consistent, low-level background noise primarily from attacks and botnets, while Denmark and Finland exhibit minimal activity. The top threats are SSH brute-force attacks, predominantly originating from IPs in Russia, Bulgaria, and the Netherlands. Focus on the SSH brute-force pattern from ASNs in these regions rather than individual ephemeral IPs. Consider temporary blocking or rate-limiting for these specific CIDR ranges if they are not already covered by existing policies. Deprioritize individual IPs from the low-volume Nordic activity as it aligns with typical baseline noise.
