Substantial Risk
IP 167.94.146.54 is a high-risk address linked to persistent hacking activity, with automated honeypot sensors recording 426 reports between August 2025 and June 2026, indicating sustained automated intrusion attempts originating from United States network infrastructure operated by CENSYS-ARIN-02 (AS398705).
The address demonstrates a threat level of 8 out of 10 with a 94% confidence rating, placing it among the higher-risk sources tracked by community monitoring systems. The activity frequency score of 8 out of 10 confirms this is not an isolated incident but rather part of sustained automated scanning behavior. Recent reports, sourced exclusively from automated honeypot sensors, consistently categorize the observed activity as general hacking attempts, including connection-based intrusion probes and unauthorized access enumeration against exposed services.
The dominant threat category, general hacking activity, encompasses automated exploitation attempts targeting vulnerable services, vulnerability scanning, and credential-based attack patterns commonly deployed by botnets and automated attack toolkits. The volume and consistency of reports spanning nearly a year indicate a systematic approach to identifying and exploiting weak points rather than opportunistic opportunistic scanning, meaning any exposed service with known vulnerabilities represents a potential entry point for this threat actor.
Site operators running publicly accessible services should implement immediate defensive measures: enforce strong authentication on all exposed services, apply security patches promptly, and deploy rate-limiting rules using tools such as fail2ban to disrupt automated attack patterns. Network-level blocking based on this IP address reputation is advisable given the sustained threat activity and high confidence score.
