Substantial Risk
IP 167.94.146.63 is a high-risk address operating from United States infrastructure (AS398705, CENSYS-ARIN-02) with a confirmed threat level of 8/10 and 94% confidence, linked to active hacking activity and potential use as an exploited attack platform. This IP has accumulated 410 abuse reports across 20 independent automated honeypot sensors, indicating sustained, high-frequency malicious behavior over approximately 11 months from August 2025 through June 2026. The volume and consistency of reports from multiple detection sources establish this as a credible, ongoing threat rather than isolated noise.
The detection data reveals that 19 of the most recent reports classify the activity as general hacking attempts involving unauthorized access attempts, intrusion activity, and exploitation of vulnerabilities, while 1 recent report flags the IP as an exploited host. The sanitized attack-pattern indicators (connection attempts and malware/exploit activity) further corroborate that this address is actively probing and engaging target systems. The attribution to CENSYS-ARIN-02 suggests the IP may belong to a compromised host or network segment being weaponized without the owner's knowledge, which is consistent with the exploited-host classification and explains the persistent, high-volume report rate across geographically distributed honeypots.
Hacking activity at this frequency and volume poses a concrete risk to any exposed service. Automated attack tools frequently leverage such IPs to conduct credential stuffing, vulnerability scanning, and exploit delivery against SSH, RDP, web applications, and other internet-facing interfaces. An exploited-host designation indicates this address may be running botnet malware or acting as a relay, meaning it could simultaneously launch attacks while receiving instructions from external command-and-control infrastructure. Organizations with weak authentication, unpatched software, or exposed management interfaces are particularly vulnerable to compromise through repeated contact from this source.
Site operators should block 167.94.146.63 at the network perimeter or firewall level given the high threat score and confirmed malicious intent. Implement fail2ban, crowdsec, or similar dynamic firewall tools to automatically drop connections from repeat offenders. Enforce strong authentication on all exposed services, apply security patches promptly, and deploy intrusion-detection signatures tuned to connection-flood and exploit patterns consistent with this IP's observed behavior. If this address persists in targeting your infrastructure, consider filing an abuse report with the network operator to contribute to broader community mitigation efforts.
