Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat volume increased by 16.9% compared to the previous 6-hour period, a significant deviation from the recent baseline. The activity remains dominated by SSH brute-force and web application attacks, primarily originating from US, German, and British IPs. Nordic countries show stable, low-level activity consistent with their typical background noise, with Sweden and Finland seeing the most events. The top attacking IPs are concentrated in TM, BG, RU, IN, and RO, indicating a persistent Eastern European and Asian brute-force campaign active for several weeks. Defender focus should remain on the broader geographical and behavioral patterns rather than individual IPs. Consider implementing temporary geo-blocking or aggressive rate-limiting for SSH and web admin portals from high-risk ASNs in Eastern Europe and Asia, as these represent the most consistent threat pattern. Routine Nordic traffic can be deprioritized.
