Severe Risk
IP 80.94.95.25 is a critical-risk address associated with SSH brute-force intrusion attempts, originating from a Romanian network operated by SS-Net under ASN AS204428, with 224 abuse reports submitted through 20 automated honeypot sensors and a 10/10 threat severity rating.
The intelligence surrounding 80.94.95.25 reveals concentrated malicious activity documented in October 2025, with both the first and most recent reports dated to that month, indicating a defined campaign rather than sustained persistent threat. While the activity frequency metric registers at zero out of ten for current engagement, the aggregate report volume of 224 submissions across multiple independent honeypot sensors underscores the credibility and scope of observed hostile behavior. The dominant threat category identified across recent reports is SSH-oriented attack activity, complemented by general hacking attempts, yielding a 63 percent confidence rating that this IP poses a genuine threat rather than misattributed or incidental traffic. The Romanian geographic assignment and the SS-Net ASN designation provide network context, though the specific organizational use of this IP address remains unverified by public records.
SSH brute-force attacks represent systematic credential-guessing campaigns targeting the Secure Shell protocol, the primary administrative access mechanism for Linux servers and network infrastructure worldwide. Attackers automating attempts against exposed SSH services iterate through username and password combinations, exploiting weak, default or reused credentials to gain unauthorized shell access. Successful authentication provides a threat actor with persistent remote-code-execution capability, enabling data exfiltration, lateral movement through internal networks, cryptomining deployment or the establishment of long-term covert access. The volume of reports attributed to 80.94.95.25 suggests this address has been actively engaged in such credential-guessing campaigns, and any exposed SSH service reachable from this IP faces immediate and repeated authentication-bombardment risk.
Network defenders should treat 80.94.95.25 as a high-priority blocklist candidate, implementing permanent firewall rejection for inbound connections from this source. Systems running accessible SSH services should enforce key-based authentication exclusively, disable root login and consider relocating the SSH daemon to a non-standard port to reduce automated targeting surface. Deploying dynamic intrusion-prevention tooling such as fail2ban enables automatic temporal IP blocking upon observing repeated failed authentication patterns consistent with brute-force behavior. Continuous monitoring for any authentication anomalies from this address, coupled with regular audit of server access logs for signs of compromise, provides defensive depth beyond static blocking alone.
