Maximum Danger
IP 78.31.250.12 is a critical-risk Dutch address with a maximum threat score of 10/10 that has generated 1,049 total abuse reports, with automated honeypot sensors flagging it specifically for active hacking activity including connection attempts and intrusion targeting.
The address resides in the AS214481 autonomous system operated by Wojciech Czapkowicz and is geographically hosted in the Netherlands. Community reporting and automated honeypot sensors contributed 20 recent incident reports, all categorized under hacking activity, with the bulk of this detection occurring during January 2026. The 62% confidence score indicates a reasonably well-correlated threat profile, though the activity frequency metric of 0/10 suggests reported bursts rather than continuous sustained scanning behavior. The single-month detection window (January 2026 for both first and last reports) points to a concentrated campaign rather than a persistent long-term threat actor.
The dominant "Hacking" classification encompasses exploitation attempts, unauthorized access probes, and vulnerability scanning against exposed services. While the threat level is maximal, the data pattern suggests automated scanning tools probing for misconfigured or unpatched systems rather than highly targeted intrusion. Concrete risks include credential stuffing against SSH or web authentication panels, exploitation of known software vulnerabilities, and reconnaissance for subsequent attack phases. Organizations running exposed services without proper hardening face the highest exposure.
Site operators should block or heavily rate-limit this address at the firewall or network edge, implement strict port-knocking or IP allowlisting for sensitive services, and deploy defensive tools such as fail2ban or equivalent to automatically ban repeat offenders. Ensuring all exposed services run current patches, enforcing strong authentication, and monitoring logs for matching source IPs will further reduce exposure to the attack patterns this address has demonstrated.
