Substantial Risk
IP 147.182.241.81 is a high-risk address operating from DigitalOcean's AS14061 network infrastructure in the United States, linked to 8,090 abuse reports and confirmed hacking activity with a threat level of 8 out of 10. The IP has been actively targeting vulnerable services since September 2025, with consistent reporting activity extending through June 2026, indicating persistent rather than opportunistic intrusion behaviour. With an activity frequency rated 8 out of 10 and an 85 percent confidence score, automated honeypot sensors have recorded the majority of these detections, establishing a reliable threat profile for this address.
The abuse reports consistently attribute general hacking activity to this IP, encompassing intrusion attempts, vulnerability exploitation and unauthorized access efforts against exposed services. Automated honeypot sensors detected attack connections originating from this address, including Suricata alerts flagging application-layer protocol anomalies where traffic was observed in only one direction, a pattern often indicative of reconnaissance scanning or failed exploit delivery. The volume of reports — totalling 8,090 across a nine-month observation window — and the sustained activity frequency suggest this address is actively used in an ongoing campaign rather than isolated probing.
Hacking activity of this nature poses concrete risks to any exposed service, particularly those with unpatched software, default credentials or misconfigured authentication mechanisms. The protocol-detection anomaly flagged by security sensors can signal early-stage reconnaissance where an attacker maps service behaviour without completing a handshake, or alternatively indicates failed exploit attempts where malicious payloads are transmitted without receiving expected responses. Site operators whose services are reachable from this IP face elevated risk of credential compromise, data exfiltration or further lateral movement if initial access is achieved.
Operators should immediately block or rate-limit connections from 147.182.241.81 at the network perimeter and monitor inbound traffic from this address for signs of sustained probing. Implementing strict authentication policies — including mandatory multi-factor authentication, account lockout thresholds and the use of tools such as fail2ban to dynamically block repeated login failures — significantly reduces the effectiveness of credential-based attacks. Regular patching cycles, network intrusion detection monitoring and the principle of least privilege access further harden exposed surfaces against the exploitation patterns associated with this threat actor.
