Elevated Risk
IP 3.132.23.201 is a high-risk address associated with automated intrusion attempts and SMTP abuse, with 9,576 cumulative abuse reports logged across automated honeypot sensors over a six-month window between August 2025 and February 2026.
The IP originates from Amazon Web Services infrastructure operating under ASN 16509 (AMAZON-02) in the United States. Analysis of the submitted reports reveals a dominant threat profile centered on hacking activity, accounting for 18 of the most recent categorised incidents, supplemented by 3 email spam reports. The detection corpus draws from 20 distinct automated honeypot sensors, indicating broad-based community corroboration of suspicious behaviour rather than an isolated alert. While the activity frequency metric registers at 0/10, the substantial historical report volume underscores that this address has been consistently flagged for hostile reconnaissance and exploitation attempts targeting exposed services.
Hacking activity in this context refers to automated intrusion attempts, vulnerability scanning and brute-force login attempts conducted against internet-facing systems. SMTP spam abuse, the secondary classification, indicates the address has been implicated in mass unsolicited email distribution or relay abuse. The 63% confidence score reflects that while the threat pattern is well-established, attribution and precise impact require contextual evaluation by the reviewing analyst. The real-world risk lies in the exposure of unpatched or misconfigured services to systematic probing that could culminate in unauthorised system access or network infiltration.
Site operators should treat this IP as a known threat source and implement proportionate defensive controls. Network-level blocking or rate-limiting at the firewall or edge router provides the most immediate mitigation. Authentication hardening on exposed services, including enforcement of strong credentials and the adoption of key-based authentication for remote access protocols, substantially reduces the attack surface. Email infrastructure should validate inbound traffic using SPF, DKIM and DMARC protocols to detect and quarantine spoofed or abusive SMTP traffic. Finally, deploying automated threat-response tools such as fail2ban or comparable log-analysis utilities enables dynamic blocking of repeated offensive patterns and supports ongoing monitoring for any resurgence in hostile activity.
