Critical Alert
IP 45.198.224.18 is a critical-risk address that has generated over 1,000 abuse reports since May 2026, with automated honeypot sensors flagging it for persistent hacking activity originating from infrastructure operated by Vpsvault.host Ltd in the United States under ASN AS215925.
The IP carries a maximum threat level of 10/10 and a 94% confidence score based on community and sensor data. With an activity frequency rated 8/10, this address demonstrates sustained aggressive behavior rather than isolated probes. The detection profile shows 20 recent reports specifically categorised as hacking activity, indicating the host is engaged in intrusion attempts, exploitation of vulnerabilities, or sustained scanning of target networks. All recent threat-category reports point to the same hacking classification, suggesting a focused and deliberate campaign rather than opportunistic noise.
Hacking activity of this severity exposes vulnerable services to unauthorised access, data exfiltration, and potential compromise of critical systems. The volume and persistence of reports against this IP indicate infrastructure likely used exclusively or predominantly for offensive operations, meaning any exposure of services such as remote administration interfaces, unpatched web applications, or outdated server software to this address carries immediate risk of breach. The high confidence score and threat level confirm this is not benign or accidental traffic.
Site operators should block or aggressively rate-limit traffic from 45.198.224.18 at the network edge, enforce strong multi-factor authentication on all remote access points, and ensure systems are fully patched with up-to-date intrusion detection signatures monitoring for the observed attack patterns. Automating response with tools such as fail2ban or equivalent dynamic blocking frameworks can further reduce exposure window.
