High Risk
IP 46.151.178.13 is a high-risk address associated with prolific hacking activity, drawing 2,742 abuse reports from automated honeypot sensors across a five-month window between February and June 2026. With a threat level of 8 out of 10 and a confidence score of 94 percent, this Dutch-hosted IP has demonstrated persistent, high-frequency intrusion attempts that warrant immediate defensive attention.
The dataset reveals sustained malicious behavior originating from AS211443, operated by Sino Worldwide Trading Limited, with all 20 most recent threat reports specifically categorizing the activity as general hacking attempts. Automated honeypot sensors detected repeated attack connections throughout the reporting period, indicating systematic rather than opportunistic scanning behavior. The consistent volume of reports over several months suggests an established automated attack infrastructure rather than transient compromise.
The hacking classification encompasses various unauthorized access attempts, vulnerability exploitation and intrusion activities directed at exposed services. For network operators running publicly accessible systems, this profile indicates concrete risk of credential compromise, data exfiltration or secondary attack staging. The high activity frequency suggests the IP participates in coordinated scanning campaigns that systematically probe for weak points across target ranges.
Site operators should implement immediate countermeasures including blocking or rate-limiting traffic from this address at the network perimeter, enforcing strong authentication requirements on any exposed management interfaces, and deploying intrusion detection rules to flag related connection patterns. Regular audit of access logs for interaction with this IP combined with automated blocking tools such as fail2ban can significantly reduce exposure to the threat vector these reports represent.
