Executive Summary
Global threat volume represents a significant deviation, spiking by 496.3% versus the previous period to 22,321 events. This surge is driven by coordinated spam and attack campaigns, primarily from US and Dutch ASNs. Nordic activity remains stable and consistent with 7-day averages; Sweden (96 events) and Finland (61 events) show routine scanning and brute-force patterns, with no country-specific anomalies detected. The top threat IPs are ephemeral and part of larger, known SSH brute-force clusters. Consider temporarily rate-limiting or blocking traffic from CIDR ranges associated with high-volume SSH brute-force activity, particularly from ASNs in the Netherlands and Eastern Europe. Deprioritize individual IPs from the top list as they are transient; focus on the pattern of coordinated authentication attacks instead.
