Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat volume deviated significantly from baseline, spiking by 348.5% versus the previous period. This surge is not routine and is primarily driven by spam and attack categories. The Nordic region remains relatively stable; Sweden and Finland show the highest volume but are consistent with their 7-day averages. The top attacking IPs are concentrated in botnet C2 and SSH brute force activity, originating from ASNs in the Netherlands, Turkmenistan, and Russia. Focus on these patterns, not individual ephemeral IPs. Consider temporarily rate-limiting or blocking traffic from CIDR ranges associated with the top malicious ASNs, particularly for SSH and web attack vectors. Deprioritize individual IPs from the spam category as they represent high-volume, lower-fidelity noise.
