Extreme Threat
IP 178.16.54.35 is a critical-risk address located in the Netherlands and operated by Omegatech LTD under ASN AS202412, classified as an exploited host with a threat level of 10/10 based on 453 total abuse reports submitted through automated honeypot sensors. This IP address presents a severe security concern because it has been confirmed as a compromised system being weaponised by threat actors to conduct malware and exploit activity against external targets, effectively turning the unwitting owner's infrastructure into an attack platform. Despite the current absence of active engagement, the persistent volume of historical reports and maximum threat classification indicate that IP 178.16.54.35 poses a concrete danger to any exposed service it contacts.
The data gathered from automated honeypot sensors reveals 453 total abuse reports linked to this address, with 20 of the most recent reports categorising the activity exclusively as an exploited host. The reports were first and last submitted in March 2026, placing all observed malicious behaviour within a single month timeframe. The network is registered to Omegatech LTD in the Netherlands, a jurisdiction within the European Union where abuse coordination mechanisms exist, though the system's compromised status means the legitimate operator may be unaware of the ongoing exploitation. The 72% confidence score reflects the certainty of automated systems in attributing this activity to the identified IP address rather than spoofed or NATed traffic.
An exploited host classification indicates that IP 178.16.54.35 belongs to a server, workstation or IoT device that has been compromised through software vulnerabilities, weak credentials or misconfiguration, allowing an external actor to gain control. The confirmed malware and exploit activity suggests the compromised system is being used to scan for vulnerable services, propagate malicious payloads, launch distributed attacks or serve as a command-and-control relay. For a network operator, an infected endpoint within their address space creates legal liability, reputation damage and potential downstream harm to other internet users. Even though current activity appears dormant based on the zero frequency metric, the underlying compromise remains unremedied and could resume without warning.
