Substantial Risk
IP 147.182.241.81 is a high-risk threat actor with a threat level of 8/10 that has accumulated 7,303 total reports from automated honeypot sensors, with the dominant activity being general hacking attempts. Operating from a DigitalOcean-hosted network in the United States (AS14061), this IP has been reported as actively engaged in malicious operations between September 2025 and June 2026, indicating persistent threat behavior over a significant timeframe.
The data reveals substantial abuse activity with 7,303 total reports and a confidence score of 86%, suggesting high certainty that this IP is intentionally conducting malicious operations. Detection was primarily driven by automated honeypot sensors, which recorded 20 distinct hacking-related incidents alongside 1 email spam report. The network traces to AS14061, DigitalOcean's ASN, a cloud infrastructure provider that is frequently targeted by threat actors due to its flexible provisioning model. The 8/10 activity frequency score indicates that this IP maintains a consistently high attack cadence, making it a persistent concern for any exposed service.
The primary threat category—general hacking activity—encompasses various intrusion attempts, exploitation of vulnerabilities, and unauthorized access attempts. With 20 of 21 recent reports tied to this category, this IP demonstrates clear intent to compromise systems rather than engage in opportunistic scanning. The detected attack patterns include connection-based intrusion attempts and SMTP spam and abuse activity, which could facilitate account takeover, phishing campaigns, or secondary compromises against connected systems. The volume and consistency of reports suggest automated tooling rather than manual intervention.
Site operators should immediately block or rate-limit this IP at the firewall or network edge to prevent continued probing. Implementing fail2ban or similar dynamic blocklist tools can automate this response based on observed attack signatures. Exposed services should enforce strong authentication, apply security patches promptly, and maintain comprehensive access logging for anomaly detection. Email infrastructure should validate incoming connections against known abuse databases and implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC protocols to mitigate any spam vectors.
