Elevated Risk
IP 77.83.240.170 is a high-risk address associated with hacking activity, carrying a threat level of 8/10 and drawing 1034 total abuse reports, with honeypot sensors flagging it 20 times for intrusion-related behaviour during November 2025. The volume of reports and the confirmed automated detection pattern make this IP a credible threat to any exposed service.
The address originates from a US-based allocation under ASN AS49870, operated by Alsycon B.V., with automated honeypot sensors generating all 20 of the most recent threat reports. While the activity frequency metric shows minimal recent engagement, the cumulative report count indicates persistent scanning or exploitation attempts over time. All detections occurred within a single reporting window in November 2025, suggesting concentrated hostile reconnaissance against exposed entry points.
Hacking activity in this context refers to automated intrusion attempts, vulnerability scanning and exploitation attempts against services exposed to the internet. Threat actors use such IP addresses to systematically probe networks for weak authentication, unpatched software or misconfigured services. The volume of reports associated with 77.83.240.170 suggests it has been actively leveraged for sustained probing campaigns that could precede more targeted attacks if vulnerabilities are identified.
Site operators should block or heavily rate-limit traffic from this address at the network perimeter, implement strict authentication requirements on any exposed services, and ensure all software is patched against known vulnerabilities. Deploying intrusion detection tools such as fail2ban can help automatically block repeated connection attempts from abusive sources. Continuous monitoring of authentication logs for source IPs associated with this address will help identify any successful reconnaissance or login enumeration patterns.
