Extreme Threat
IP 2.57.121.247 is a high-risk address operating from Romania (AS47890, Unmanaged Ltd) that has been flagged by automated honeypot sensors with 309 total abuse reports and a maximum threat score of 10 out of 10, indicating severe malicious activity whenever connections are detected.
The IP was first reported in September 2025 and most recently in the same month, placing all documented activity within a compressed timeframe. All 20 of the most recent reports attribute the malicious behaviour to hacking activity, with the detection sourced exclusively from automated honeypot infrastructure rather than community submissions. The activity frequency rating of 0 out of 10 suggests that while this address does not engage in high-volume scanning or constant probing, the incidents when they occur are severe enough to warrant maximum threat classification. The 309 cumulative reports indicate this address has been problematic for an extended period, with recent categorisation firmly centering on intrusion attempts and exploitation activity rather than lower-severity reconnaissance.
The hacking designation encompasses a broad spectrum of intrusion activity including vulnerability exploitation, unauthorized access attempts and other intrusion-related techniques. An address with a 10/10 threat rating originating from an unmanaged network operator represents a concrete risk to any exposed service, particularly those with accessible authentication interfaces, unpatched software or misconfigured services. The combination of unmanaged hosting and confirmed honeypot detections of hacking activity means this address has demonstrated intent and capability to compromise target systems actively.
Site operators should block this address at the network perimeter or firewall level to eliminate any attack surface. Deploying intrusion detection signatures tuned to the observed hacking activity patterns provides an additional defensive layer. Implementing strong authentication controls on all exposed services, combined with automated monitoring tools such as fail2ban to identify and block repeated connection attempts, significantly reduces exposure. Regular patching of systems and services remains a critical baseline defence against the exploitation techniques this address has demonstrated.
