High Risk
IP 62.60.130.169 is a high-risk address associated with email spam distribution, presenting a 7/10 threat level with 573 total abuse reports and sustained activity detected between May and June 2026. With an activity frequency rated 8/10 and an 87% confidence score, this IP demonstrates persistent malicious behavior originating from an Iranian network, despite its ASN being registered to a Belgrade-based operator, indicating potential hosting, tunneling, or infrastructure-sharing arrangements that obscure true ownership. The 20 most recent reports all classify the activity as email spam, confirmed by automated honeypot sensors, making it the clear dominant threat category for this address.
Report volume and detection consistency paint a concerning picture of ongoing abuse. All 20 recent threat reports originated from automated honeypot infrastructure, providing a high-confidence signal that this IP is actively engaged in mass email distribution rather than isolated incidents. The two-month reporting window from first to last detection confirms sustained engagement with target systems, while the 573 total reports suggest this is not a transient actor but one maintaining persistent presence in threat feeds. The geographic origin in Iran combined with the Serbian-registered ASN highlights a common pattern in modern threat infrastructure where physical location and administrative registration diverge, often through cloud hosting or anonymization services.
Email spam as a threat category carries concrete risks beyond mere nuisance. Mass-distributed spam frequently serves as a delivery mechanism for phishing campaigns designed to harvest credentials, fraudulent invoices impersonating trusted parties, or malicious attachments exploiting software vulnerabilities. The scale implied by hundreds of reports suggests automated, high-volume operations likely employing rotating tactics to evade basic filtering, potentially targeting both individual inboxes and organizational mail systems with varying degrees of sophistication.
Site operators should block this IP at the network perimeter or firewall level given its elevated threat score and confirmed malicious activity. Implementing and enforcing SPF, DKIM, and DMARC email authentication protocols will prevent spoofed domains from bypassing spam filters and protect recipients from impersonation attempts originating from this source. Deploying reputation-based filtering through standard tools such as fail2ban or equivalent intrusion prevention systems will automatically reject connections from addresses with established negative reputations. Continuous monitoring of email logs for patterns consistent with the sending behavior reported here ensures early detection of any successful delivery attempts that bypass initial blocks.
