Critical Threat
IP 142.202.188.221 is classified as a maximum-threat address (10/10) with 6,712 total abuse reports, the overwhelming majority documenting hacking activity detected by automated honeypot sensors over a three-month window from December 2025 through February 2026. This volume of reported incidents places the IP among the most aggressively tracked addresses in contemporary threat-feeds, and its United States origin within AS398019 (DYNU) infrastructure makes it a persistent concern for operators maintaining internet-facing services. Despite the extreme report count, the activity frequency score of 0/10 indicates the address is not currently conducting active operations, though historical behavior remains the primary risk indicator.
The evidence base supporting this threat assessment derives entirely from 20 separate automated honeypot sensor reports, each categorizing the observed activity under the hacking classification. The 60% confidence score reflects uncertainty in attributing the activity definitively to a single threat actor or coordinated campaign, yet the sheer volume of incidents across multiple detection points establishes a clear pattern of malicious intent. The address was first documented in December 2025 and continued generating reports through February 2026, suggesting sustained probing rather than isolated opportunistic scanning. Network registration data ties the IP to DYNU, a dynamic DNS and related services provider, which threat-intelligence analysts frequently associate with threat infrastructure due to its ease of IP rotation and anonymity features.
Hacking activity, as documented in these reports, encompasses the full spectrum of intrusion tradecraft including vulnerability enumeration, exploitation attempts against unpatched services, and unauthorized access probing. For an organization with an exposed SSH, RDP, web application, or database port, a source generating thousands of hacking reports represents a concrete risk of credential compromise, data exfiltration, or malware delivery if defensive controls fail. The repeated nature of the reports across three months suggests the source is systematically scanning broad network ranges rather than targeting specific victims, meaning any vulnerable service in its path faces exposure. Even dormant threat indicators warrant attention, as addresses associated with prolific hacking infrastructure frequently return to active scanning after rotational periods.
