Critical Alert
IP 35.203.211.233 is a critical-risk address operating from Google Cloud Platform infrastructure (AS396982) with a threat level of 10/10, linked to 787 abuse reports across a nine-month window from August 2025 to May 2026. The dominant activity is hacking, specifically connection-based probing detected exclusively by automated honeypot sensors. With a confidence score of 70% and moderate activity frequency, this IP represents an ongoing, sustained threat to exposed network services.
The geographic origin is listed as the United Kingdom, though the AS396982 allocation confirms the IP resides within Google's cloud infrastructure—a common vector for threat actors who abuse legitimate cloud services to mask their origin and benefit from reputable IP reputation in early reconnaissance phases. All 787 reports originated from automated honeypot sensors, indicating systematic, bot-driven scanning rather than opportunistic manual activity. The IP was first reported in August 2025 and remained active through May 2026, demonstrating persistent engagement with target systems over an extended period rather than a transient probe.
Hacking activity in this context refers to connection-based intrusion attempts and vulnerability probing—automated scripts systematically establishing connections to exposed services to identify exploitable entry points. The 787 reports suggest this IP has been actively scanning and attempting unauthorized access against numerous targets, likely cycling through common service ports and known vulnerable configurations. The volume and duration indicate a coordinated campaign rather than incidental traffic, posing genuine risk to any exposed SSH, Telnet, or similar management interfaces.
Site operators should block this IP at the network perimeter firewall and implement geo-based access controls if the UK origin is not expected for the exposed service. Deploying intrusion detection systems and enabling fail2ban or equivalent dynamic blocking tools will automatically mitigate repeated connection attempts. Enforcing key-based authentication, disabling password authentication entirely, and implementing strict least-privilege access controls significantly reduce the effectiveness of any successful intrusion attempt. Continuous monitoring of authentication logs and implementing multi-factor authentication for administrative access provide additional defensive depth against this class of threat.
