Analysis period: 2026-02-18T18:00:01.846485 - 2026-02-19T00:00:01.846485 (6 hours)

Executive Summary

Global threat volume increased by 3.6% compared to the previous 6-hour period, a minor deviation that remains consistent with the established 7-day average. SSH brute-force attacks continue to dominate the threat landscape, with the top offenders originating from ASNs in 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>). Nordic activity remains low and routine; Sweden (14 events) and Finland (7 events) show no significant deviation from their typical baseline, primarily facing SSH and web-based brute-force attempts. The overall pattern indicates sustained, automated credential attacks rather than a new campaign. Focus defensive measures on hardening SSH access and implementing strict rate-limiting for authentication services across all internet-facing systems. The slight global increase does not warrant new blocking policies but reinforces the need for consistent application of existing security controls against these persistent, automated threats.
