Extreme Threat
IP 23.94.38.226 is a critical-risk address associated with 717 abuse reports and confirmed hacking activity detected through automated honeypot sensors. Operating from the United States within AS36352 (AS-COLOCROSSING), this IP has generated a threat-level score of 10 out of 10, indicating severe malicious intent targeting exposed network services.
The volume of reports is notable: 717 total submissions with 20 confirmed hacking-category events logged during October 2025 alone. All recent detections originated from automated honeypot sensors, which function as attractive but isolated targets deliberately configured to capture and document intrusion techniques. The network operator, AS-COLOCROSSING, is a hosting provider frequently referenced in threat-intelligence feeds due to its historical association with automated attack infrastructure. Geographic attribution to the United States does not diminish risk; threat actors routinely deploy assets in any jurisdiction offering infrastructure accessibility and favorable abuse-handling policies.
The dominant threat category, Hacking, encompasses intrusion attempts, exploitation of vulnerabilities, and unauthorized-access scanning against exposed services. A single honeypot event was recorded, suggesting the IP executed a concrete exploitation attempt against a monitored system rather than merely conducting broad port scanning. While the activity-frequency metric indicates limited current engagement, the accumulated report volume demonstrates persistent, deliberate targeting of internet-facing resources over time.
Site operators should treat IP 23.94.38.226 as hostile and implement defensive controls accordingly. Blocking or rate-limiting connections from this address at the firewall or network edge provides an immediate barrier. Enforcing strong authentication mechanisms, particularly on remote-access services, reduces the effectiveness of any intrusion techniques this actor may employ. Deploying fail2ban or equivalent log-analysis tools can automatically detect and respond to repeated connection attempts matching known attack signatures. Finally, maintaining current patching cycles and intrusion-detection monitoring ensures that any attempted exploitation encounters hardened, well-monitored systems.
