Severe Risk
IP 185.11.61.252 is a critical-risk address originating from Russia and operated by Chang Way Technologies Co. Limited, with 1,291 total abuse reports tied to sustained hacking activity, indicating a persistent threat to exposed network services. The IP has accumulated a substantial volume of reports across automated honeypot sensors, with the most recent activity logged in January 2026. While the confidence score sits at 60%, the sheer report volume and perfect 10/10 threat rating establish this address as a significant and ongoing risk in the threat landscape.
Detection data shows that all 20 most recent reports attribute the malicious activity to general hacking attempts, encompassing intrusion attempts, exploitation of known vulnerabilities, and unauthorized access probes. The network operator, Chang Way Technologies Co. Limited, is a limited liability company registered abroad, a common profile for infrastructure leveraged in automated attack campaigns. Community and sensor reporting indicate that this address has been actively targeting systems continuously, with the concentrated activity window occurring during January 2026. The activity frequency metric of 0/10 suggests that while historical volume is high, current ongoing probing may have temporarily subsided, though this does not diminish the threat posed if the address remains active.
Hacking activity of this magnitude means that exposed services such as SSH, Telnet, FTP, or web applications face repeated automated intrusion attempts, credential stuffing, and vulnerability scanning. Attackers operating through infrastructure like this typically deploy botnets or automated tools to systematically probe entire IP ranges for weak configurations, unpatched software, or default credentials. The real-world risk includes compromised systems, data exfiltration, lateral movement within networks, and recruitment into botnets for downstream attacks such as distributed denial-of-service campaigns. Even if activity has temporarily slowed, the address remains flagged because such infrastructure often reactivates on rotated schedules.
Network defenders should immediately block IP 185.11.61.252 at the firewall or network perimeter to eliminate incoming connections from this source. Deploying fail2ban, which dynamically monitors authentication logs and bans repeat offenders, provides an effective automated layer of defence against brute-force and scanning patterns commonly associated with this threat profile. Ensure all exposed services are patched, use strong unique credentials, and implement multi-factor authentication where feasible. Ongoing traffic from this address should be logged and monitored for evolving tactics, as addresses flagged for hacking often pivot to new attack vectors over time.
