High Risk
IP 16.58.56.214 is a high-risk address operating from Amazon's AWS infrastructure (AS16509, AMAZON-02) with a threat level of 8/10 and a confidence rating of 88%, generating 2,980 total abuse reports since first being flagged in February 2026. The IP remains actively reported as recently as July 2026, with its dominant threat profile categorized as general hacking activity encompassing malware and exploit attempts alongside reconnaissance port-scanning behavior.
The 2,980 reports attributed to this address represent substantial cross-source confirmation, with activity detected by 20 independent automated honeypot sensors distributed across the security community. Threat categorization data shows hacking activity (18 recent reports) as the primary concern, supplemented by two reports of exploited host behavior and one port-scan report, suggesting this address functions both as an attack platform and potentially as a compromised system itself. The IP's AS16509 registration confirms it originates within Amazon Web Services infrastructure in the United States, a common hosting environment leveraged by threat actors due to its reputation for legitimate cloud traffic.
Hacking activity in this context describes a pattern of unauthorized intrusion attempts, vulnerability exploitation and attack connections that pose a direct threat to any exposed service. The detected Ciscoasa port-scan probe indicates reconnaissance targeting of firewall and network security devices, while the associated malware and exploit activity signals that payloads or malicious tools may be deployed against victim systems. An IP with this volume of reports and confirmed hostile intent creates significant risk for any Internet-facing service, particularly those with weak authentication, unpatched vulnerabilities or exposed management interfaces.
Site operators should immediately block or heavily rate-limit traffic from 16.58.56.214 at the network edge or firewall level, as this address demonstrates consistent hostile intent across multiple detection sources. Implement fail2ban or equivalent dynamic blocking tools configured to respond to the authentication failure and scanning patterns associated with this IP. Ensure all exposed services are patched and follow security best practices including strong authentication requirements, minimal exposed attack surface and intrusion detection monitoring. If this activity persists despite blocking, consider notifying AWS abuse handling through their standard reporting channels given the AS16509 registration.
