Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat volume decreased by 3.6% vs previous period, remaining consistent with the 7-day average and indicating routine background noise. SSH brute force remains the dominant attack vector. Nordic activity is stable at low baselines; Sweden (14 events) and Finland (7 events) show expected activity, primarily botnet and SSH-related, while Norway and Denmark remain quiet. The top threat IPs, originating from TM, RU, and BG, are part of known, persistent SSH brute force campaigns active for weeks, not a new emerging threat. Defenders should deprioritize these routine SSH attacks, focusing instead on pattern-based detection. Consider temporary blocking or rate-limiting traffic from ASNs historically associated with these campaigns, particularly from Eastern European and Central Asian networks. No immediate action is required for the stable Nordic traffic, as it aligns with typical background levels.
