Maximum Danger
IP 106.75.184.142 is a high-risk address associated with sustained hacking activity, having accumulated 621 abuse reports at a threat level of 10/10 with a 96% confidence score, indicating that automated honeypot sensors and community reporting sources have independently confirmed the malicious nature of this traffic with very high reliability. The activity frequency of 8/10 and the broad detection footprint spanning multiple sensor types confirm this is not opportunistic scanning but persistent intrusion activity targeting exposed services across the internet.
The reporting window extends from September 2025 through June 2026, a period of approximately nine months during which this IP was flagged a total of 621 times. All 20 of the most recent report entries specify "Hacking" as the threat category, indicating a focused and consistent attack methodology rather than diverse scanning behaviour. The detection originated exclusively from automated honeypot sensors, which simulate vulnerable services to capture and characterise malicious connection attempts in a controlled environment. Geographically, the address routes through AS58466, operated by CHINANET Guangdong province network in mainland China, a large telecommunications provider that hosts significant numbers of both residential and cloud-hosted endpoints.
The dominant threat category of "Hacking" in this context refers to general intrusion attempts encompassing exploitation of unpatched vulnerabilities, brute-force authentication attacks, and probing for misconfigured services that accept external connections. The real-world risk stems from any exposed service listening on common ports — including remote administration interfaces, databases, and web applications — that lacks adequate rate-limiting or credential policies. An address with this reputation will be automatically flagged by most IP reputation systems, and any exposed service accepting connections from it faces repeated, automated credential-guessing and vulnerability-probing sequences that increase the likelihood of successful compromise if defensive controls are not in place.
Site operators should take immediate steps to protect exposed services from this and similar high-risk addresses: implement automated blocking via log-analysis tools such as fail2ban or equivalent solutions that parse authentication failures and temporarily ban repeat offenders, enforce strong multi-factor authentication on all remote-access interfaces to render credential-stuffing attacks ineffective, ensure all software on internet-facing systems is kept current with security patches, and deploy network-level intrusion-detection systems or web-application firewalls capable of identifying and alerting on exploitation patterns associated with hacking activity. Blocking or rate-limiting traffic from known malicious sources at the firewall level provides an additional layer of defence against repeated probing attempts.
