Critical Threat
IP 85.11.183.23 is a maximum-threat-level address originating from United Kingdom-based hosting infrastructure that poses an active and severe risk to internet-facing systems, according to an aggregate confidence score of 94 percent across 789 abuse reports filed over a four-month observation window from February to May 2026.
The address, allocated to PebbleHost Ltd under autonomous system AS212027, was flagged by 20 distinct automated honeypot sensors deployed across multiple network regions, indicating broad scanning or attack propagation behaviour rather than isolated probing. Of the categorized incidents, 19 reports classified the activity as general hacking attempts involving unauthorized access attempts and exploitation of vulnerable services, while one additional report categorized the IP itself as an exploited host. The detected attack patterns included connection-based intrusion activity and malware or exploit delivery signatures, with an activity frequency rating of 8 out of 10 suggesting persistent, repeated engagement against target environments over the reporting period.
The dominance of hacking classification combined with the single exploited-host designation indicates that this address is likely operating as an active attack platform, either through compromised customer infrastructure within the PebbleHost network or through deliberately provisioned hostile resources. The real-world risk to any exposed service includes credential compromise, successful exploitation of unpatched vulnerabilities, and potential lateral movement or secondary infection chains should an initial intrusion succeed.
Site operators should immediately block IP 85.11.183.23 at the network perimeter using firewall rules or intrusion-prevention systems, implement strict rate-limiting on authentication endpoints to disrupt brute-force patterns, and enforce strong multi-factor authentication across all remote-access services. Additionally, reviewing logs for any matching connection attempts and considering notification to PebbleHost Ltd regarding the confirmed hostile activity on their network would support broader community defence efforts.
