Threat Intelligence Briefing

Threat volume remains stable, decreasing by 1.9% versus the previous period and is consistent with the 7-day average. The primary threats are SSH brute force and generic attacks, predominantly originating from Dutch (ASN 20473, 16276) and US infrastructure. Nordic activity is routine; Sweden and Finland show expected low-level scanning and brute force attempts from a handful of IPs. The top attacking IPs are known offenders from Bulgaria, Turkmenistan, and Russia, part of established botnets conducting widespread credential attacks. Consider temporarily blocking or rate-limiting SSH traffic from the /16 CIDR ranges associated with the top Dutch and Eastern European ASNs, as these represent persistent threat clusters. No new infrastructure or TOR exit nodes were observed; deprioritize individual IPs in favor of these network blocks.
