Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat volume represents a significant deviation, spiking by 438.7% versus the previous period. This surge is primarily driven by attacks, spam, and brute-force campaigns, with the US, India, and Germany as top source countries. Nordic region activity remains routine and stable, with Sweden and Finland showing expected, low-volume patterns consistent with their 7-day averages. The top threat IPs are predominantly associated with SSH brute-forcing, a common but persistent tactic. Focus on the pattern, not the ephemeral IPs. Consider temporarily rate-limiting SSH traffic from the ASNs hosting these concentrated brute-force campaigns, particularly from Eastern European and Asian networks. Deprioritize individual IP blocking; the high volume indicates a distributed and shifting infrastructure.
