Extreme Threat
IP 146.19.24.133 is a critical-risk address linked to automated hacking activity, originating from a network operated by MEVSPACE sp. z o.o. in Poland (AS201814), with 227 separate abuse reports filed from automated honeypot sensors. Despite a low measured activity frequency of 0/10, the concentration of reports across 20 distinct detection points within a single month window indicates persistent, coordinated intrusion attempts originating from this address, earning it a maximum threat level of 10/10.
The evidence base for this assessment draws from 20 automated honeypot sensors that logged a combined 227 reports in February 2026, classifying the overwhelming majority as hacking activity (19 recent reports) alongside a single exploited-host report. The confidence score of 67% reflects moderate certainty in attribution, consistent with automated detection environments where probe signatures are clear but full forensic confirmation is unavailable. The low activity frequency reading paired with high report volume suggests the source is conducting targeted, periodic scans or exploit attempts rather than continuous brute-force traffic. Poland-registered hosting infrastructure, particularly networks associated with MEVSPACE sp. z o.o., has been flagged in prior threat intelligence circles for abuse, making this IP consistent with a pattern of malicious hosting or compromised endpoints used as launch platforms.
The dominant hacking classification encompasses automated vulnerability scanning, exploit delivery attempts, and unauthorized access probing against exposed services. Attack-pattern indicators noting malware/exploit activity and honeypot event signatures suggest this address is actively seeking exploitable entry points across the internet rather than passively scanning. The isolated exploited-host report raises the possibility that the IP itself may be a compromised system being weaponised without its legitimate operator's knowledge, a common occurrence in botnet recruitment. For any exposed service facing this source, the concrete risk is unauthorized system access, data exfiltration, or secondary compromise through deployed payloads.
Site operators should treat this IP as hostile and implement immediate blocking at the firewall or network edge to deny all inbound connections. Rate-limiting rules should be applied to any exposed authentication interfaces to slow automated credential attacks. Hardening authentication mechanisms—enforcing strong passwords, disabling default credentials, and implementing multi-factor authentication—significantly reduces the practical impact of any successful probe. Monitoring solutions such as fail2ban or equivalent intrusion-prevention tools can automatically detect and respond to the connection patterns associated with this source, while organisations may consider notifying the upstream provider (MEVSPACE sp. z o.o.) to report the observed abuse.
