Severe Risk
IP 106.75.137.178 is a high-risk address originating from CHINANET's Guangdong province network (ASN AS58466) in China, assessed at a maximum threat level of 10/10 with an 86% confidence score, linked primarily to sustained hacking activity including intrusion attempts and unauthorized access campaigns targeting both traditional servers and Internet-of-Things infrastructure.
Automated honeypot sensors across the network community recorded 1,199 total abuse reports for this IP, with an activity frequency rated 8/10, indicating persistent rather than sporadic malicious behavior. The address was first reported in September 2025 and remained active through July 2026, representing an extended operational window of approximately ten months. The overwhelming majority of recent reports — 20 distinct instances — classified the activity under general hacking categories encompassing exploitation attempts and vulnerability scanning, while a single additional report flagged IoT and ICS-targeted connection activity. All detections originated from automated honeypot infrastructure, suggesting the IP has been systematically probing network perimeters for exploitable entry points.
The dominant hacking classification indicates this IP has been actively attempting to breach systems through vulnerability exploitation, credential attacks, or enumeration techniques rather than relying on a single attack vector. The concurrent IoT-targeted activity suggests the operator may be running coordinated scans seeking misconfigured smart devices, routers, or industrial control systems with weak default credentials or unpatched firmware. For an exposed service, even a single successful intrusion can result in data exfiltration, malware deployment, or pivoting into adjacent systems, making sustained probing from a high-frequency source a serious operational risk.
Site operators should immediately block or rate-limit connections from this IP at the firewall level and implement strict inbound traffic policies. Deploying defensive tools such as fail2ban or similar log-analysis automation can dynamically ban repeat offenders based on failed authentication patterns. Enforcing strong password policies, disabling unused services, and applying security patches promptly will reduce the attack surface that this IP targets. Network segmentation isolating IoT devices from critical infrastructure is particularly advisable given the dual threat profile observed in the reports.
