Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat volume increased significantly by 65.5% compared to the previous period, representing a major deviation from typical baseline activity. This surge was primarily driven by attacks and botnet traffic, with India (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/IN" target="_blank">IN</a>), Brazil (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/BR" target="_blank">BR</a>), and the Philippines (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/PH" target="_blank">PH</a>) as top sources. Nordic countries remained relatively stable with low event counts consistent with their 7-day averages. The top threat actors were SSH brute force attacks originating primarily from US and Russian IP addresses, specifically targeting port 22. Focus defensive actions on blocking SSH brute force patterns from high-volume ASNs rather than individual IPs. Consider implementing temporary rate-limiting on SSH services and prioritize monitoring for botnet-related traffic patterns. Deprioritize individual IP addresses from Nordic regions as they represent routine background noise.
