Substantial Risk
IP 167.94.146.48 is a high-risk address linked to sustained hacking activity, having accumulated 501 abuse reports documenting systematic intrusion attempts and unauthorized access probes over approximately nine months of active engagement with honeypot sensors. With a threat level of 8/10 and an activity frequency rating of 8/10, this IP represents a significant and persistent risk to any exposed network service, warranting immediate blocking or strict access controls for any environment where the address has been observed attempting connection.
The address is registered within the United States to CENSYS-ARIN-02 (ASN AS398705), with activity spanning from September 2025 through June 2026. All 501 reports were generated by automated honeypot sensors, which detected the IP conducting repeated intrusion probes at consistently high frequency. The sustained detection window and uniform report source indicate that this address is engaged in methodical reconnaissance and exploitation testing rather than isolated or opportunistic scanning, raising the confidence score to 87 percent for attribution of malicious intent.
The dominant threat category is general hacking activity, which encompasses vulnerability exploitation, intrusion attempts, and unauthorized access probing. The detected patterns include attack connection attempts and malformed TLS record anomalies, suggesting the address is actively testing exposed services for implementation weaknesses in cryptographic protocols. Such probing often serves as a precursor to more targeted exploitation, posing concrete risk to unpatched systems, misconfigured servers, or services with insufficient access controls.
Site operators should block or rate-limit 167.94.146.48 at the network perimeter, implement multi-factor authentication on all exposed services, and deploy tools such as fail2ban to automatically mitigate repeated connection attempts. Maintaining current patches and intrusion detection monitoring will further reduce exposure to the exploitation techniques this address has demonstrated.
