Severe Risk
IP 216.238.76.160 is a high-risk address with a maximum threat classification of 10 out of 10, drawing from 226 independent abuse reports filed against this single endpoint over a concentrated timeframe. The dominant activity recorded against this Mexican-hosted IP involves general hacking behavior, specifically unauthorized intrusion attempts and connection-based exploitation probes detected by automated honeypot infrastructure. With an activity frequency score of 8 out of 10 and a 94 percent confidence rating from detection sensors, the evidence strongly supports an ongoing, deliberate campaign targeting vulnerable services reachable from this address.
The 226 reports attributed to 216.238.76.160 all originate from automated honeypot sensors, indicating systematic, automated scanning or exploitation activity rather than isolated manual attempts. Both the first and most recent reports timestamp to May 2026, suggesting sustained engagement from this address during that period. Geographically, the IP routes through AS20473, operated by The Constant Company, LLC, a hosting provider whose infrastructure is frequently abused by threat actors due to the relative anonymity and flexibility such services offer. The consistent volume of reports combined with the narrow reporting window paints a picture of an active, purpose-built hostile actor rather than a compromised end-user device.
Hacking activity in this context refers to intrusion attempts, vulnerability probing, and unauthorized access campaigns that automated honeypots capture when they simulate exposed services. The attack pattern noted as a connection-based probe suggests the actor is systematically testing for open ports, weak authentication mechanisms, or known software vulnerabilities across potential targets. For any organization with internet-facing services, such activity represents a concrete risk of credential compromise, data exfiltration, or pivoting into internal networks if initial access is gained. The frequency and volume of reports against this address indicate persistence and intent rather than opportunistic, low-skill scanning.
Network defenders should immediately block or heavily rate-limit traffic originating from 216.238.76.160 at the firewall or edge device level. Organizations running exposed services should enforce strong, unique credentials and consider deploying automated authentication tools such as fail2ban to dynamically ban repeated offenders. Keeping all internet-facing software fully patched and maintaining an active intrusion detection or intrusion prevention system will reduce the window of opportunity for any successful exploitation. Continuous monitoring of abuse feeds and IP reputation lists is recommended to identify and block similar hostile addresses proactively.
