Severe Risk
IP 86.54.31.36 is a critical-risk address operated by Black HOST Ltd under ASN AS12989 in Canada, with a threat level of 10/10 and 295 abuse reports filed against it over approximately eleven months, indicating sustained and aggressive malicious activity that demands immediate defensive action.
Automated honeypot sensors logged all 295 reports across a detection window spanning August 2025 through June 2026, reflecting an activity frequency rating of 8/10 and a confidence score of 95 percent. This concentration of reports over an extended period signals persistent rather than opportunistic behavior, with the IP maintaining a consistent presence in scanning and intrusion campaigns. The Canadian network allocation from Black HOST Ltd places this address within a hosting environment commonly associated with bulletproof or semi-anonymous infrastructure, which explains the sustained pattern of reported abuse despite the elevated threat classification.
The dominant threat category recorded against IP 86.54.31.36 is general hacking activity encompassing intrusion attempts, vulnerability exploitation and unauthorized access vectors. This classification represents the highest-impact threat type in network security, as successful exploitation could grant attackers persistent access to internal systems, exfiltrate sensitive data or weaponize compromised infrastructure for further attacks. The volume and consistency of reports suggest this address participates in automated scanning campaigns that systematically probe public-facing services for known vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that could be leveraged for unauthorized entry.
Site operators should implement immediate blocking of IP 86.54.31.36 at the network perimeter firewall or edge device, coupled with fail2ban or equivalent dynamic rule engines to automatically respond to repeated connection attempts. Exposed services should enforce strong authentication policies including multi-factor authentication, non-standard port relocation where feasible and comprehensive patch management schedules. Continuous traffic monitoring for patterns associated with this address will help identify any sophisticated attempts to bypass static blocks through source IP rotation.
