Maximum Danger
IP 216.180.246.95 is a critical-risk address associated with 282 hacking-related reports submitted by automated honeypot sensors over a three-month period from January to March 2026. With a threat level scored at the maximum of ten out of ten, this United States-originated IP presents a significant danger to any exposed services. The volume of reports combined with the confirmed hacking classification makes this one of the more concerning addresses documented in recent threat feeds, warranting immediate attention from network defenders encountering it in their logs.
The detection data reveals consistent automated intrusion activity captured across twenty separate honeypot sensors over the January through March 2026 timeframe, averaging approximately fourteen reports per source. Network routing information places the address within AS834 operated by IPXO, a US-based network operator, though the actual origin of the activity cannot be definitively attributed through this routing data alone. The reported attack patterns include TCP stream anomalies such as sequence number irregularities during connection establishment and spurious retransmission events, which are characteristic of port scanning, service fingerprinting, or vulnerability probing techniques commonly employed during the reconnaissance and initial exploitation phases of targeted attacks.
The dominant hacking classification encompasses unauthorized access attempts, vulnerability exploitation, and intrusion activity that could precede more serious network compromises. TCP stream irregularities of the type observed suggest the address is actively conducting reconnaissance against exposed services, testing connection handling robustness, or probing for misconfigured systems. While the activity frequency metric registers at zero out of ten, the sheer volume of historical reports indicates persistent and systematic scanning behavior that may resume or continue across other address spaces within the same network block. Organizations with directly accessible services should treat any connection attempt from this IP as hostile until proven otherwise.
Site operators should implement immediate blocking measures for this address at the firewall or network edge, and consider deploying fail2ban or similar dynamic rule engines that can automatically respond to the scanning patterns associated with this threat actor. Keeping all systems current with security patches remains critical, as automated scanning frequently precedes exploitation attempts against known vulnerabilities. Enabling intrusion detection systems to generate alerts on SYN-based anomalies and connection irregularities will aid in early identification of similar threat activity. Finally, reviewing authentication logs for any successful or attempted connections originating from this address provides insight into whether any probing reached vulnerable entry points.
