Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat volume increased by 2.1% compared to the previous period, remaining consistent with the 7-day average and representing routine background noise. Reconnaissance remains the dominant activity globally and across the Nordic region. Notably, Sweden and Finland show elevated attack volumes within their normal operational baseline, primarily consisting of SSH brute force and web attacks. The top threat actors are concentrated in Romanian (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/RO" target="_blank">RO</a>) and Bulgarian (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/country-intelligence/BG" target="_blank">BG</a>) ASNs, continuing established patterns. This activity does not represent a deviation from typical behavior. Focus defensive resources on monitoring and potentially rate-limiting traffic patterns from Eastern European ASNs associated with SSH brute force, rather than blocking individual ephemeral IPs. Routine reconnaissance from the US and China can be deprioritized as it aligns with expected global background scanning activity.
