Notable Threat
IP 86.54.31.32 is a high-risk address based in Canada and operated through AS12989 (Black HOST Ltd) that has generated 168 total abuse reports with a 96% confidence score, indicating a sustained and aggressive threat pattern consistent with active intrusion activity.
The data shows an 8/10 activity frequency sustained across an eleven-month observation window between August 2025 and June 2026. Detection came from 20 distinct automated honeypot sensors, confirming broad exposure across distributed monitoring infrastructure. The report breakdown reveals hacking activity as the dominant threat category with 18 documented instances, alongside single reports for IoT-targeted probes and exploited-host behavior. This distribution suggests the address is actively engaged in multi-vector reconnaissance and exploitation attempts rather than isolated scanning.
Hacking activity in this context refers to systematic intrusion attempts, vulnerability exploitation and unauthorized access campaigns targeting exposed services. When combined with the IoT-targeted and exploited-host reports, the IP address presents a compound threat profile indicating both active offensive operations and potential use as a compromised attack platform. The 96% confidence score reflects highly consistent detection patterns across multiple independent sensor sources, making false-positive attribution unlikely.
Site operators should immediately block this IP at the network perimeter and implement fail2ban or equivalent rate-limiting rules to detect and mitigate automated authentication attacks. Organizations should ensure all exposed services run current security patches, enforce strong multi-factor authentication and avoid default credentials. Network segmentation isolating IoT devices and internal assets from internet-facing systems significantly reduces exposure to this type of persistent threat actor. Proactive monitoring of IP reputation feeds and abuse databases helps maintain up-to-date blocklists against known malicious infrastructure.
