Critical Threat
IP 43.227.184.98 is a critical-risk address originating from i2k2 Networks Pvt Ltd in India that has been extensively flagged for hacking activity, with 474 cumulative abuse reports logged by automated honeypot sensors between October 2025 and December 2025. The IP carries a maximum threat score of 10 out of 10, indicating severe malicious intent, and recent reporting activity confirms sustained interest in unauthorized intrusion attempts targeting exposed services. Despite a moderate confidence rating of 78%, the volume and consistency of reports establish this address as a persistent threat actor within the examined timeframe.
The detection data reveals 20 recent reports specifically categorizing the activity as hacking, encompassing connection-based intrusion attempts detected through honeypot infrastructure. The address operates within AS132750, assigned to i2k2 Networks Pvt Ltd, an Indian network operator whose address space has contributed to notable abuse traffic. The two-month reporting window spanning October through December 2025 demonstrates that this IP has maintained consistent hostile activity rather than fleeting opportunistic scanning, elevating its risk profile beyond casual reconnaissance.
Hacking activity as documented here represents deliberate attempts to exploit vulnerabilities, establish unauthorized access channels, or enumerate system weaknesses through sustained connection attempts. The "attack connection" pattern noted in detection data indicates the IP is actively probing target services rather than passively scanning, suggesting either targeted reconnaissance or automated exploitation toolkits deployed against commonly exposed entry points. For any organization with SSH, RDP, or web-facing services exposed to this address, the risk of credential compromise, service exploitation, or backdoor installation is substantial without proactive defensive controls.
Site operators should immediately block IP 43.227.184.98 at the firewall or network edge to terminate the attack vector entirely. Implementing strict rate-limiting on authentication endpoints reduces the effectiveness of any continued attempts. Enforcing key-based authentication, strong password policies, and multi-factor authentication across remote access services significantly raises the barrier against successful intrusion. Deploying fail2ban or equivalent intrusion-prevention tools to automatically ban repeated offenders from honeypot and production networks provides automated protection. Continuous monitoring of authentication logs for this IP address and similar source addresses within the same ASN block will help identify broader threat patterns targeting the infrastructure.
