Elevated Risk
IP 3.132.26.232 is a high-risk address operated through Amazon's infrastructure (AS16509, AMAZON-02) that has generated 939 total abuse reports, with automated honeypot sensors logging 20 confirmed intrusion and exploitation attempts between February and May 2026, placing it firmly in the top tier of malicious actors by volume and consistency.
The data paints a clear picture of persistent threatening behavior from this US-based IP address. With a threat level rating of 8 out of 10 and a confidence score of 96 percent, analysts can place substantial weight on these findings. The overwhelming majority of recent reports (20 distinct events) classify the activity as Hacking, with isolated instances of Email Spam and Exploited Host behavior also recorded. Detection mechanisms captured a range of patterns including general attack connections, SMTP abuse indicating spam distribution or relay attempts, protocol mismatch anomalies suggesting automated scanning or tunneling activity, and malware or exploit-related signatures. The activity frequency rating of 8 out of 10 confirms this is not a transient or opportunistic actor but rather one engaged in sustained operations over a four-month window.
Hacking activity in this context encompasses unauthorized access attempts, vulnerability exploitation, and intrusion-oriented scanning that precedes or accompanies network compromise. For an exposed service, this translates to direct risk of credential compromise, data exfiltration, or having the host enrolled in wider attack infrastructure. The presence of Suricata protocol-detection alerts indicates the IP is actively probing for misconfigured or vulnerable services, while the Exploited Host classification raises the possibility that this address may be circulating through attacker toolchains at scale, making it likely to appear in automated targeting runs against any internet-facing system.
Site operators should treat this IP as definitively hostile and block it at the network perimeter using firewall rules or fail2ban-style automated response tools. All internet-facing services should run current patches and be monitored for unusual authentication patterns or protocol anomalies. Implementing strong multi-factor authentication, enforcing strict connection timing thresholds, and logging all inbound attempts from this address will reduce exposure and support incident response if an attempted intrusion succeeds despite blocking measures.
