Notable Threat
IP 176.65.134.7 is a high-risk address operated by Go Host Ltd in Germany, associated with 26,776 abuse reports from automated honeypot sensors and classified as a significant hacking threat with a threat level of 7 out of 10. The IP was first reported in August 2025 and most recently reported in September 2025, indicating persistent malicious activity over a concentrated timeframe.
The dataset reveals a substantial abuse history despite the moderate confidence score of 59 percent, with all 20 recent reports categorizing the activity as hacking. These detections originate exclusively from automated honeypot infrastructure, which suggests consistent engagement with vulnerable services on the internet. The IP resides within AS208191, operated by Go Host Ltd, a German network provider, and the geographic location in Germany does not inherently indicate malicious intent, as threat actors frequently utilize compromised infrastructure in legitimate hosting environments. The high report volume relative to the short reporting window underscores the aggressive and repeated nature of the scanning and intrusion attempts originating from this address.
Hacking activity encompasses a broad spectrum of unauthorized access attempts, vulnerability exploitation, and intrusion vectors directed at exposed services. This IP reputation issue poses a concrete risk to any publicly accessible service, particularly those with weak authentication mechanisms, unpatched software, or misconfigured access controls. Attackers leveraging this address likely conduct automated scanning for known vulnerabilities or attempt brute-force authentication against exposed interfaces, potentially leading to data breaches, service disruption, or further propagation of malicious payloads if initial access is achieved.
Site operators should block or restrict access from IP 176.65.134.7 at the firewall or web application firewall level, and implement rate-limiting on authentication endpoints to mitigate brute-force attempts. Deploying fail2ban or equivalent intrusion prevention tools can automatically ban IPs demonstrating hostile patterns. Maintaining rigorous patch management schedules and disabling unnecessary services on internet-facing systems will reduce the attack surface that this threat actor targets. Continuous monitoring of abuse reports and integrating IP blocklists derived from community intelligence sources provides proactive defense against known malicious infrastructure like this address.
