Notable Threat
IP 64.62.156.10 is a high-risk address linked to sustained hacking activity, with 478 total abuse reports and a threat level of 8/10 indicating a serious, ongoing risk to exposed network services.
The IP is registered to Hurricane Electric's AS6939 network infrastructure in the United States, spanning a detection window from August 2025 through June 2026. Community and automated honeypot sensors generated 20 distinct detection events across this period, with a notably high activity frequency score of 8/10. The dominant threat category driving these reports is Hacking, accounting for 19 of the 20 most recent categorisations, alongside a single Exploited Host classification. Network traffic analysis revealed anomaly patterns consistent with protocol mismatch detection and potential malware or exploit delivery attempts, suggesting the address is actively involved in intrusion-oriented operations rather than incidental scanning.
The Hacking classification encompasses a broad range of intrusion activities, including vulnerability exploitation attempts and unauthorized access probing against services left exposed to the internet. When paired with the Exploited Host designation, the evidence pattern indicates this address may represent a compromised system being weaponised by threat actors to conduct attacks anonymously, effectively using the unwitting owner's infrastructure as an attack platform. The protocol mismatch activity detected suggests attempts to fingerprint or circumvent detection mechanisms on target systems, a common precursor to more targeted exploitation.
Network defenders should immediately block IP 64.62.156.10 at the firewall or edge device level given the sustained volume and diversity of malicious activity. Implementing automated blocking through tools such as fail2ban or equivalent dynamic firewall rules provides an additional layer of protection against repeated connection attempts. Organisations running publicly accessible services should enforce strong authentication, apply security patches promptly and monitor for scanning patterns matching this address. If this IP belongs to a legitimate hosting subscriber, consider notifying the network operator to report potential compromise of their infrastructure.
