Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat volume decreased by 6.9% compared to the previous period, consistent with routine background noise and the 7-day average. Nordic activity remains stable, with Sweden (623 events) and Finland (414 events) showing their typical, higher-than-regional-average threat levels primarily driven by reconnaissance and blacklisted IPs. The top threat actors are a cluster of SSH brute force scanners from Polish (87.251.64.0/24) and Russian (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/80.66.66.70" target="_blank">80.66.66.70</a>) IPs, a persistent campaign active for several weeks. Focus on the pattern of SSH bruteforce from these CIDR blocks rather than individual, ephemeral IPs. Consider temporary blocking or rate-limiting traffic from the 87.251.64.0/24 range and similar known malicious ASNs. Deprioritize individual blacklist alerts from Sweden and Finland as this is consistent with their baseline activity.
