Critical Threat
IP 146.19.24.212 is a high-risk address associated with 232 total abuse reports and classified as a confirmed hacking threat by automated honeypot sensors in Poland. With a threat level of 10/10, this IP presents a severe risk profile based on the volume and consistency of malicious activity detected over a two-month window between November and December 2025.
The address originates from Poland and operates within the AS201814 autonomous system managed by MEVSPACE sp. z o.o., a Polish network operator. All 20 report sources contributing to the most recent threat categorization were automated honeypot sensors, indicating systematic detection of intrusion-oriented activity rather than isolated incidents. The 232 total reports and 79% confidence score reinforce that this is not a transient or misclassified entity. The first reports emerged in November 2025, with sustained activity continuing through December 2025. Despite a current activity frequency reading of 0/10, the sheer volume of historical reports confirms a persistent threat actor with demonstrated intent to probe and compromise targets.
The dominant threat category for IP 146.19.24.212 is general hacking activity, encompassing intrusion attempts, exploitation attempts against vulnerable services, and unauthorized access probing. This pattern indicates the IP has been used to scan exposed services, attempt exploitation of known vulnerabilities, or conduct credential-based attacks against network-accessible systems. Even if current activity has diminished, the prior record demonstrates a sophisticated operator capable of adapting tactics to target vulnerable endpoints.
Site operators should treat this IP as a high-priority block candidate. Implementing automated blocking via tools such as fail2ban or firewall rules that rate-limit or deny traffic from known malicious sources will reduce exposure. Exposed services should be audited for unnecessary open ports and outdated software, with priority given to patching known vulnerabilities. Enforcing strong authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication and non-default credentials, significantly reduces the risk posed by credential-guessing attempts. Continuous monitoring of access logs for patterns associated with this address and similar probing activity will help detect renewed engagement.
