Critical Threat
IP 185.242.226.10, registered to IP Volume inc under ASN 202425 in the United States, presents a critical threat level of 10 out of 10 with a 93% confidence score based on 303 independent abuse reports from automated honeypot sensors over approximately eleven months between August 2025 and June 2026.
The volume and consistency of malicious activity originating from this address are exceptional. With 303 total reports and an activity frequency rated 8 out of 10, IP 185.242.226.10 has demonstrated persistent, high-volume intrusion behavior consistently flagged across multiple honeypot detection systems. The sole reported threat category — Hacking — indicates systematic attempts to exploit vulnerabilities, compromise systems, or gain unauthorized access through various attack vectors. The eleven-month active window from first to last report confirms this is not a transient or opportunistic actor but rather a sustained, automated threat infrastructure operating continuously against target networks.
Hacking activity as logged by honeypot sensors encompasses a broad spectrum of intrusion techniques, including vulnerability exploitation, credential stuffing, and unauthorized access attempts against exposed services. For network operators with directly accessible SSH, RDP, web interfaces, or other network services, this IP represents a concrete risk of compromise if those services are inadequately protected. The persistent nature of the activity — rather than a single isolated probe — suggests the address is part of an automated attack campaign scanning and targeting vulnerable systems at scale.
Network administrators should treat connections from IP 185.242.226.10 as inherently malicious and block the address at the firewall or network edge. Implementing strict rate-limiting on authentication endpoints, enforcing strong password policies, and deploying defensive tools such as fail2ban can significantly reduce the effectiveness of these intrusion attempts. Regular monitoring of authentication logs for patterns consistent with the activity detected from this address will help identify any attempted compromises that slip through perimeter defenses.
