Extreme Threat
IP 5.188.206.30 is a critical-risk address linked to 1170 confirmed abuse reports from automated honeypot sensors, with a dominant hacking threat profile that poses a serious risk to any exposed network service.
Operating from Bulgaria under ASN AS200391 (Krez 999 Eood), this IP has maintained an 8/10 activity frequency with a 94% confidence score across the April–July 2026 reporting window. All 20 recent threat reports consistently categorize the activity as hacking, and detection spans multiple independent honeypot sources, indicating sustained, high-volume malicious behavior rather than isolated probing. The persistent nature of these reports, combined with the absence of any legitimate traffic indicators, strongly suggests this address is controlled by automated scanning infrastructure or a threat actor operating continuously against internet-facing systems.
Hacking activity encompasses vulnerability exploitation attempts, intrusion vectors, and unauthorized access campaigns. The Suricata alerts indicating prohibited ICMP communication are consistent with network reconnaissance behavior, where threat actors perform host discovery and network mapping before launching targeted attacks. This IP reputation data shows an address that has been actively engaged in identifying and exploiting weaknesses across exposed services, potentially serving as a scanning node in a larger botnet or attack campaign.
Network defenders should immediately block this IP at the firewall level and implement dynamic blocking tools such as fail2ban to prevent repeated connection attempts. Exposed services should enforce strong, unique credentials and multi-factor authentication where feasible. Regular patching cycles and intrusion detection monitoring will help identify any attempted exploitation. Continuous monitoring of abuse report feeds for this address is strongly recommended given its ongoing activity.
