Significant Threat
IP address 3.143.162.210 is a high-risk address associated with sustained hacking activity, with 621 total abuse reports and a threat level rating of 8 out of 10. This IP, operating within Amazon's network infrastructure (AS16509, AMAZON-02) in the United States, demonstrates persistent malicious behavior that warrants immediate defensive attention from any organization exposing services to the internet.
Automated honeypot sensors and community reports have documented activity from this address since February 2026, with the most recent detections occurring in May 2026. The IP has accumulated a total of 621 reports over this approximately four-month period, indicating consistent and repeated offensive operations. With an activity frequency rating of 8 out of 10 and a confidence score of 96%, the threat classification carries substantial analytical certainty. The predominant threat category recorded against this IP is general hacking activity, accounting for the vast majority of the 21 total categorized reports, while a single report documented IoT-targeted operations.
The hacking activity linked to this address represents classic intrusion-approach behavior, including vulnerability exploitation attempts, unauthorized access probing, and other intrusion techniques designed to compromise target systems. The high report volume and frequency suggest an automated or semi-automated attack campaign rather than isolated manual attempts. This pattern poses significant risk to any exposed SSH, Telnet, or other remotely accessible services, as automated tools commonly leveraged in such campaigns can rapidly cycle through credentials and exploit known vulnerabilities at scale.
Organizations should implement immediate defensive measures including blocking or rate-limiting connections from this IP at the network perimeter, deploying fail2ban or similar automated banning tools to neutralize repeat offenders, enforcing strong authentication mechanisms on all exposed services, maintaining consistent patch management cycles, and configuring intrusion detection systems to flag any connections from this source. Regular monitoring of abuse feeds and maintaining updated blocklists will help mitigate the ongoing threat this address represents to internet-facing infrastructure.
