Substantial Risk
IP 137.184.190.246 is a high-risk address operated through DigitalOcean's AS14061 infrastructure in the United States, with a threat level of 8/10 and a confidence score of 84%. This IP has accumulated 1,885 total abuse reports from 20 independent automated honeypot sensors over a nine-month reporting window spanning September 2025 through June 2026, making it one of the most consistently reported addresses within its network block.
The dominant threat activity recorded against this IP falls into the Hacking category, accounting for 18 of the most recent reports alongside 2 Exploited Host classifications. The reported attack patterns describe general intrusion activity consistent with automated exploitation attempts, including unauthorized connection probes and malware-related behavior. The sustained volume of reports combined with an activity frequency rating of 8/10 indicates this is not an isolated incident but rather persistent scanning or exploitation activity originating from or passing through this DigitalOcean address.
The Hacking designation encompasses a broad range of intrusion techniques, including vulnerability exploitation, credential attacks, and attempts to gain unauthorized system access. When paired with the Exploited Host classification, this suggests the IP may be functioning as an active attack platform conducting automated probes against internet-facing services. For any organization running exposed SSH, HTTP, or other network services, this address represents a concrete threat vector capable of testing defenses at scale.
Site operators should block 137.184.190.246 at the firewall or network perimeter level immediately. Implement rate-limiting on authentication endpoints and enforce strong credential policies to mitigate brute-force risks. Keep all software and firmware patched to reduce exposure to known vulnerabilities. Consider deploying defensive tools such as fail2ban to automatically ban repeated offenders and monitor logs for any connection attempts from this address to identify potential compromise or lateral movement.
