Elevated Risk
IP 3.132.26.232 is a high-risk address operating from Amazon's AWS infrastructure (AS16509, AMAZON-02) within the United States, assessed at threat level 8/10 with 90% confidence based on 1,152 total abuse reports spanning February to July 2026. The dominant activity involves sustained hacking activity, including repeated connection attempts and malware or exploit delivery observed across automated honeypot sensors. With an activity frequency rated 8/10, this IP represents an aggressive and persistent threat to exposed network services.
The volume and consistency of reports filed against 3.132.26.232 over a six-month period paint a clear picture of sustained hostile intent. All 1,152 reports originate from automated honeypot sensors, indicating continuous systematic scanning and exploitation attempts rather than isolated incidents. The most recent submissions categorize the activity primarily as Hacking (20 reports) alongside a single Exploited Host classification, suggesting this address may be actively delivering attack tooling while simultaneously attempting to compromise external targets. The network operator, Amazon Web Services, operates one of the world's largest cloud platforms, making this IP particularly concerning given the potential for IP address reuse or the abuse of compromised AWS resources as an attack launchpad.
Hacking activity of this magnitude typically encompasses repeated intrusion attempts, credential brute-forcing, and probing for unpatched vulnerabilities across exposed services such as SSH, RDP, HTTP APIs, or database ports. The Exploited Host classification indicates that automated analysis has determined this address is likely being used as an attack platform, possibly without the knowledge of its legitimate operator, or is actively hosting malicious tooling. Each connection attempt from this IP represents a potential entry point for data theft, malware deployment, or network pivoting if an exposed service contains an exploitable weakness.
Site operators should block 3.132.26.232 at the firewall or network perimeter immediately, applying the block at both ingress and egress points to prevent any bidirectional communication. Rate-limiting policies and authentication hardening measures such as key-based authentication, account lockout thresholds, and multi-factor authentication should be enforced on any internet-facing services. Deploying or enhancing detection rules within intrusion detection systems and monitoring for any inbound connections matching the observed attack patterns will strengthen situational awareness. Operators may also consider filing an abuse report with Amazon Web Services using their documented channels, as the AWS infrastructure hosting this address may be subject to acceptable-use policy violations.
