Critical Alert
IP address 167.94.146.62 is a critical-risk address operated within AS398705 (CENSYS-AREN-02) that has generated 474 abuse reports from automated honeypot sensors, with the majority classified as general hacking activity including intrusion attempts and unauthorized access vectors. With a threat level of 10 out of 10 and an activity frequency rating of 8 out of 10, this United States-based IP represents a persistent, high-confidence threat that has been active for approximately ten months between August 2025 and June 2026.
The dataset supporting this assessment draws from 20 distinct automated honeypot sensors that logged activity across the full reporting window, yielding a confidence score of 89 percent for the categorization of these events as hacking-related incidents. The volume of reports—474 total—indicates sustained, repeated probing rather than isolated scanning, with a frequency score that places this address among the most active threats observed in comparable datasets. The network operator CENSYS-AREN-02 operates the IP within United States address space, and the consistent reporting pattern across multiple sensors suggests this is not opportunistic scanning but rather sustained automated attack infrastructure.
Hacking activity in this context encompasses the techniques and procedures associated with gaining unauthorized access to systems, including exploitation attempts against vulnerable services, credential-based attacks, and reconnaissance probing for entry points. The real-world risk to any exposed service associated with this IP lies in successful exploitation that could grant attackers persistent access, data exfiltration capability, or use of compromised resources for further attacks against third parties. The 20 most recent reports all consistently categorize the activity as hacking, reinforcing that this IP is engaged in active intrusion methodology rather than benign network exploration.
Site operators should implement immediate blocking measures for this IP address at the network perimeter and consider rate-limiting authentication endpoints to reduce the effectiveness of credential-based attacks. Deploying intrusion detection systems and security automation frameworks such as fail2ban can dynamically respond to the observed attack patterns. Ensuring all systems remain current with security patches, enforcing strong authentication policies, and monitoring logs for repeated connection attempts from this address will further harden defensive posture against the threat vectors this IP represents.
