Extreme Threat
IP 45.198.224.15 is a critical-risk address with a perfect threat score of 10/10, linked to sustained hacking activity detected by automated honeypot sensors throughout July 2026. With 1,291 total abuse reports and an activity frequency rating of 8/10, this IP demonstrates persistent, high-volume malicious behavior that poses a significant danger to any exposed service.
The address is registered to Vpsvault.host Ltd operating under ASN AS215925 in the United States. All 20 recent threat reports attribute the malicious activity specifically to hacking attempts, and the 94% confidence score indicates high reliability in these findings. The concentrated reporting window within a single month, combined with the volume of complaints, suggests this is not opportunistic scanning but rather sustained, targeted intrusion activity originating from this network presence.
Hacking activity encompasses a broad spectrum of intrusion techniques, including exploitation of vulnerabilities, unauthorized access attempts, and systematic probing for weaknesses in exposed services. The pattern detected against this IP suggests automated exploitation tools were deployed at scale, attempting to compromise systems through known vulnerability chains or credential-based attacks. For organizations running unpatched services or misconfigured systems, such activity represents a direct pathway to unauthorized access, data breach, or further compromise of internal network infrastructure.
Administrators should immediately block or rate-limit connections from 45.198.224.15 at the network perimeter using tools such as fail2ban or firewall rules. All exposed services should be audited for patches and security configurations, with particular attention to remote access interfaces. Implementing strong authentication requirements, monitoring authentication logs for brute-force patterns, and deploying intrusion detection systems will further reduce exposure to the threat patterns associated with this IP.
