Severe Risk
IP 62.164.177.41, registered to Data Campus Limited in the Netherlands under ASN AS215929, is a critical-risk address with a threat level of 10/10 and a 94% confidence score, linked exclusively to 769 hacking-related abuse reports from automated honeypot sensors over a three-month window between April and June 2026. The volume and consistency of these reports, combined with an activity frequency rating of 8/10, indicate sustained, systematic intrusion activity originating from this single IP address rather than isolated or opportunistic scanning. This IP demonstrates the hallmarks of a compromised host or deliberately hostile network node being used for active exploitation of target systems worldwide. Security teams encountering this IP in their logs should treat it as a confirmed threat source requiring immediate blocking or enhanced scrutiny of any associated connection attempts.
The 769 abuse reports attributed to 62.164.177.41 were generated entirely through automated honeypot detections, with all 20 recent reports categorizing the activity under general hacking intrusion attempts. The honeypot sensor network captured both straightforward connection attempts and more sophisticated TCP-level anomalies, specifically Suricata-generated alerts indicating stream-level packet irregularities involving acknowledgment manipulation. These detection signatures suggest the attacking entity is employing techniques designed to probe or evade network inspection systems rather than relying solely on brute-force methods. The Netherlands-based network operator, Data Campus Limited, hosts this address with sufficient bandwidth and persistence to maintain an 8/10 activity frequency across the reporting period, indicating a dedicated or compromised infrastructure rather than transient scanning activity.
The dominant threat category, hacking, encompasses unauthorized access attempts, vulnerability exploitation, and intrusion activity that moves beyond simple reconnaissance into active exploitation phases. The specific TCP stream anomalies detected—packet acknowledgment irregularities—align with known attacker techniques used to establish stateful connections that circumvent intrusion detection, potentially facilitating lateral movement or data exfiltration. Each successful exploitation could grant adversaries persistent access to exposed services, enabling data theft, further network compromise, or use of the compromised target as a pivot point for additional attacks. Organizations running unpatched or misconfigured services directly exposed to this IP face significant risk of credential compromise, remote code execution, or complete system takeover.
