Threat Intelligence Briefing

Analysis period: 2026-02-18T06:00:02.192659 - 2026-02-18T12:00:02.192659 (6 hours)

Executive Summary

Global threat volume represents a significant deviation, dropping 86.8% compared to the previous 6-hour period. This sharp decline to 2,081 events is a notable anomaly, not routine noise. Activity remains concentrated on malware C2 (940 events) and SSH brute-forcing. Nordic regions show stable, low-level activity consistent with their baseline: Finland (5 events), Norway (4), and Sweden (1). The top threat IPs, primarily from Bulgaria (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/195.178.110.30" target="_blank">195.178.110.30</a>) and Romania (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/2.57.122.177" target="_blank">2.57.122.177</a>), are part of known SSH brute-force campaigns, not a new emergent threat. Given the dramatic but non-threatening drop in volume, defenders should maintain existing security posture. Continue monitoring key SSH gateways for the persistent brute-force activity from the identified ASN clusters, but no immediate escalation is required. Prioritize investigation of any successful authentication attempts linked to these IP ranges.
