Critical Alert
IP 167.94.146.61 is a critical-risk address associated with sustained hacking activity, having accumulated 384 total abuse reports with a threat level rating of 10 out of 10 and a confidence score of 94 percent. This IP address originates from the United States and is registered under AS398705, operated by CENSYS-ARIN-02. The combination of very high report volume, maximum threat classification, and near-certain attribution confidence makes this address a significant concern for any exposed network service.
Automated honeypot sensors recorded all 20 of the most recent reports attributed to this IP address, with each report categorizing the activity as general hacking behavior. The first reports emerged in August 2025, and activity continued through June 2026, indicating persistent engagement over an approximately eleven-month period. The activity frequency rating of 8 out of 10 further confirms that this address is not merely a transient or opportunistic actor but rather maintains regular, repeated contact with target systems. The high confidence score of 94 percent suggests that the detection mechanisms have high reliability in attributing this traffic to malicious intent rather than misclassification.
Hacking activity, as classified in these reports, encompasses a broad range of unauthorized intrusion attempts, vulnerability exploitation attempts, and efforts to gain system access. The concrete risk to an exposed service includes potential compromise of sensitive data, deployment of malicious payloads, lateral movement within networks, and establishment of persistent footholds for future attacks. With 384 total reports indicating sustained engagement over many months, this IP demonstrates the persistence and determination characteristic of actors conducting systematic reconnaissance or active exploitation campaigns against internet-facing systems.
Site operators should immediately block or rate-limit connections from 167.94.146.61 at the firewall or network edge. Implementing automated blocking tools such as fail2ban or equivalent solutions can detect and respond to repeated connection attempts without manual intervention. All internet-facing services should be audited for timely patching, unnecessary exposure, and hardened authentication mechanisms including strong credential requirements and multi-factor authentication where possible. Continuous monitoring and log analysis for traffic originating from this address will help identify any successful breach attempts and inform broader defensive strategy adjustments.
