Executive Summary
Global threat volume decreased significantly by 48.3% compared to the previous 6-hour period, representing a substantial deviation from the higher baseline. SSH brute-force activity remains the dominant attack category, with Turkmenistan (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/91.202.233.33" target="_blank">91.202.233.33</a>) and Russia (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/176.120.22.13" target="_blank">176.120.22.13</a>) hosting the most prolific offenders. Nordic regions show stable, low-level activity; Sweden's 27 events are consistent with its typical background noise, while Norway's 2 events are unremarkable. This overall reduction suggests a potential lull in coordinated campaigns rather than a cessation of hostile intent. Focus defensive efforts on the persistent SSH brute-force pattern originating from Eastern European and Central Asian ASNs, which consistently cluster in these attacks. Consider implementing temporary geo-blocking or aggressive rate-limiting for traffic from these high-risk network blocks. Deprioritize individual IP addresses from the top list, as they are ephemeral within these larger, more significant infrastructure clusters.
