High Risk
IP 5.187.35.142 is a high-risk address linked to sustained hacking activity, with an 8/10 threat level supported by 1,685 reports and a 94% confidence score, indicating that organizations should treat this Dutch infrastructure as a significant and credible threat vector.
The address resolves to Amarutu Technology Ltd operating autonomous system AS206264 in the Netherlands, and automated honeypot sensors logged every one of the 1,685 reports across a four-month window from March 2026 through June 2026. The report volume is substantial relative to the 20 distinct detection sources, averaging more than 80 connections per sensor, and the 8/10 activity frequency score confirms persistent, high-volume probing rather than isolated incidents. The concentration of detection across multiple independent sensors and the consistent four-month timeline strongly suggest an organized, automated campaign rather than opportunistic scanning.
The dominant threat category recorded against IP 5.187.35.142 is general hacking activity, encompassing intrusion attempts, unauthorized access probes, and exploitation attempts against exposed services. The generic "attack connection" pattern indicates that the address is establishing connections to target systems with payloads or credentials designed to compromise configurations. For any exposed SSH, RDP, web application, or database services, this traffic represents an active pathway for initial access, lateral movement, or data exfiltration if vulnerabilities or weak credentials are present.
Organizations should block IP 5.187.35.142 at the network perimeter and implement defensive tools such as fail2ban or CrowdSec to automatically ban repeated offenders. Enforcing strong, unique credentials and disabling password-based authentication where possible significantly reduces the effectiveness of these intrusion attempts. Keeping all exposed services and systems patched eliminates known vulnerabilities these attacks would target, while implementing network-level rate limiting on authentication endpoints reduces the surface area for sustained brute-force or exploitation campaigns.
