Critical Threat
IP 36.255.98.3 is a high-risk address with a maximum threat level of 10 out of 10, linked to active hacking intrusion attempts detected by automated honeypot sensors in Singapore. This IP has accumulated 567 total abuse reports, indicating sustained malicious activity that warrants immediate blocking by network defenders.
The IP is registered to Cyber-Security in Singapore and was first and most recently reported in October 2025, placing all observed activity within a single detection window. All 567 reports originate from automated honeypot sensors, lending consistency to the detection methodology, though the 64% confidence score reflects some uncertainty in threat attribution. The reported activity falls exclusively into the Hacking category, with 20 recent reports documenting specific intrusion attempts. Despite the high report volume, the activity frequency score of 0 out of 10 suggests the IP was detected during honeypot interactions rather than through continuous aggressive scanning observed against external targets.
The Hacking classification encompasses a broad range of unauthorized access attempts, vulnerability exploitation and intrusion activity targeting exposed services. When an IP generates this volume of reports from honeypot infrastructure, it indicates deliberate scanning and exploit attempts against internet-facing systems rather than incidental traffic. The concrete risk to exposed services includes credential brute-forcing, exploitation of unpatched software, and probing for misconfigurations that could grant persistent access. Even at moderate activity frequency, the report density signals persistent interest in compromising systems.
Defenders should implement immediate blocking of this IP at the firewall or network edge layer given its maximum threat rating. Deploying automated abuse-management tools such as fail2ban can dynamically ban IPs generating repeated intrusion signatures. Organizations should ensure all internet-facing services run current patches, enforce strong authentication policies, and monitor logs for the patterns associated with the reported hacking activity. Regular review of honeypot and community-based threat feeds will help maintain updated blocklists against confirmed malicious sources.
