Maximum Danger
IP 45.198.224.5 is a critical-risk address operating from Sweden under the Cloud Innovation network that has generated 702 abuse reports within a two-month window, predominantly linked to sustained hacking activity including intrusion attempts and vulnerability exploitation. With a threat level of 10/10 and a 94% confidence score, this IP represents one of the most maliciously active sources currently tracked in public threat feeds.
Analysis of the available data reveals consistent malicious behavior detected across 20 automated honeypot sensors over approximately May and June 2026. The volume of reports combined with the 8/10 activity frequency indicates this is not opportunistic scanning but rather a deliberate, organized campaign targeting exposed services. The network attribution to Cloud Innovation situates this activity within a hosting environment commonly associated with dynamic threat actors. Community reporting and automated sensor correlation together provide the high-confidence assessment that this IP should be treated as a hostile source.
The dominant hacking classification encompasses various intrusion methodologies including exploitation attempts, unauthorized access probing, and vulnerability scanning against exposed attack surfaces. Such activity poses tangible risk to unpatched systems, particularly those with exposed authentication interfaces or known software vulnerabilities. The sustained nature of the reports over multiple months demonstrates persistent intent rather than transient reconnaissance behavior, meaning exposed services face ongoing exposure with each hour this traffic is permitted.
Network defenders should immediately block or heavily rate-limit traffic originating from this IP at the edge firewall or gateway layer. Deploying automated abuse-response tools such as fail2ban can detect the attack patterns and dynamically update firewall rules without manual intervention. Organizations should audit exposed services for unnecessary exposure, enforce strong authentication requirements, maintain comprehensive patch management cycles, and ensure intrusion detection systems are configured to alert on the characteristic patterns associated with intrusion-attempt activity. Regular review of IP reputation feeds provides ongoing situational awareness regarding this and similar threatening sources.
