Elevated Risk
IP 130.12.180.77, operated by Omegatech LTD and routed through AS202412 in the United States, presents a maximum-threat (10/10) risk profile based on 438 abuse reports generated within a compressed March 2026 timeframe. The address has been definitively classified as an exploited host, indicating it has been compromised and weaponized by threat actors to conduct automated attacks against internet-facing infrastructure without the knowledge of its legitimate owner.
Analysis of the 438 reports — all sourced from 20 distinct automated honeypot sensors — reveals an anomalous pattern: despite the high report volume, the activity frequency metric reads 0/10, suggesting a concentrated burst of malicious activity rather than sustained persistent engagement. The 72% confidence score reflects some uncertainty in attribution, though the sheer volume of coordinated reports from multiple independent sensors strongly supports the exploited host classification. The network operator's AS202412 assignment and the United States geographic attribution provide context for potential upstream abuse notification and takedown coordination.
An exploited host differs fundamentally from an intentionally malicious IP because the system itself is a victim, co-opted into serving external threat actors. Compromised endpoints in this category frequently become reusable attack infrastructure, meaning the same pool of bandwidth and compute may be leveraged across multiple distinct campaigns targeting disparate victims. The real-world risk extends beyond the immediate victim: exposed services interacting with this IP risk receiving malware payloads, participating in reflected attacks, or leaking sensitive reconnaissance data to the controlling threat actor.
Site operators should immediately block 130.12.180.77 at the network perimeter and audit inbound connection logs for any prior interaction with this address. Implementing fail2ban or equivalent dynamic firewall rules that automatically drop future connections from repeat offenders provides scalable protection against similar infrastructure. Organizations running exposed services should ensure authentication mechanisms are hardened, unpatched vulnerabilities are minimized, and outbound traffic is monitored for signs of compromise or data exfiltration.
