Maximum Danger
IP 213.209.143.26 is a high-risk address with a threat level of 10/10, linked to 167 reported incidents of hacking activity detected by automated honeypot sensors in October 2025. Despite a moderate 66% confidence score, the volume of abuse reports and the severity rating indicate this IP poses a significant threat to exposed network services, particularly those accessible from German network infrastructure.
The IP originates from German network space operated by Railnet LLC under ASN AS214943. All reported activity was recorded within a single month window in October 2025, with automated honeypot sensors contributing all 20 of the most recent threat-category classifications. The activity frequency metric of 0/10 suggests these incidents may represent burst activity rather than sustained persistent scanning, though the accumulated 167 total reports across detection sources confirm this is not an isolated event. The concentration of reports within a compressed timeframe typically indicates coordinated or automated attack campaigns rather than opportunistic probing.
The dominant threat category of hacking encompasses a broad range of intrusion attempts, exploitation attempts against known vulnerabilities, and unauthorized access vectors targeting exposed services. For organizations running SSH, Telnet, HTTP, or other network-accessible services, such activity represents a concrete risk of credential compromise, data exfiltration, or establishing persistent footholds within internal networks. The volume of reports suggests this address has been actively scanning or attempting specific exploitation techniques against multiple targets, increasing the likelihood of successful compromise against unpatched or misconfigured systems.
Network defenders should immediately block or rate-limit traffic from this address at the firewall level, particularly for inbound connections to administrative interfaces. Implementing automated blocking tools such as fail2ban can dynamically respond to repeated connection attempts matching known attack patterns. Organizations should ensure all exposed services are running current security patches, enforce strong authentication requirements, and consider restricting access to management interfaces to known IP ranges. Continuous monitoring of authentication logs for failed login attempts from this address and similar sources will help identify any successful intrusion attempts promptly.
