Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat activity increased by 23.6% compared to the previous 6-hour period, with 3,754 events representing a significant deviation from the 7-day average. SSH brute force and attack categories dominate, with notable clusters from ASNs in Bulgaria (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/195.178.110.0" target="_blank">195.178.110.0</a>/24) and Turkmenistan (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/91.202.233.0" target="_blank">91.202.233.0</a>/24). Nordic activity remains routine and stable, with Sweden's 14 events consistent with its baseline and no new campaigns detected. The overall surge is attributed to widespread, automated credential attacks rather than a targeted campaign. Consider temporarily blocking or implementing stricter rate-limiting for the identified CIDR ranges exhibiting high-volume SSH brute force patterns. This will mitigate the bulk of the increased activity without impacting legitimate traffic. Deprioritize individual IPs from the top list, as they are ephemeral within these larger, persistent networks.
