Extreme Threat
IP 130.12.180.106 is a high-risk address with a maximum threat rating that has generated 221 abuse reports within a two-month window, indicating persistent and aggressive unauthorized access attempts targeting exposed network services.
The IP originates from AS214943 operated by Railnet LLC in the United States and was first reported in January 2026 with continued activity documented through February 2026. All 11 recent threat reports classify the activity as general hacking, with automated honeypot sensors accounting for the complete detection volume. The activity frequency score of 8 out of 10 and the 221 total reports demonstrate sustained engagement with target infrastructure over a compressed timeframe, suggesting automated scanning or repeated attack campaigns rather than isolated probes.
Hacking activity as documented in these reports encompasses various intrusion attempts, exploitation of vulnerabilities, and unauthorized access attempts against exposed services. The volume and frequency of reports indicate that this IP has been actively probing network perimeters, potentially seeking entry points through misconfigured services, weak credentials, or unpatched software. For organizations with exposed SSH, Telnet, or other network management interfaces, such persistent scanning represents a concrete risk of credential compromise or exploitation of known vulnerabilities if systems are not properly maintained.
Network operators should consider implementing defensive measures such as automated blocking at the firewall level, deploying authentication hardening tools like fail2ban to limit brute-force attempts, enforcing strong password policies, and maintaining up-to-date patching regimes for all exposed services. Regular monitoring of abuse report databases for this IP and related infrastructure can further reduce exposure to ongoing campaigns.
