High Risk
IP 64.23.161.101 is a high-risk address operating from DigitalOcean's AS14061 network in the United States, associated with sustained hacking activity, IoT-targeted probes, and potential host exploitation with a threat level of 8/10 and 14,241 abuse reports across automated honeypot sensors.
Analysis of the available data reveals a significant abuse history for this address. The IP accumulated 14,241 reports over approximately nine months between September 2025 and June 2026, with activity detected by 20 distinct automated honeypot sensors. The report distribution shows Hacking as the dominant threat category (19 recent reports), supplemented by isolated IoT Targeted and Exploited Host incidents. The activity frequency score of 8/10 indicates persistent rather than intermittent engagement. The 77% confidence score reflects substantial but not conclusive attribution data, suggesting the IP may serve multiple purposes or have changing operators over time. The geographic origin in the United States and the DigitalOcean cloud infrastructure context are relevant for abuse reporting escalation.
The reported attack patterns suggest this IP participates in attack connections, IoT and ICS-targeted reconnaissance and exploitation attempts, and malware or exploit delivery activity. This combination indicates a capable, multi-vector threat actor that may be leveraging the address for both targeted IoT device exploitation and broader network intrusion attempts. The presence of Exploited Host classification in recent reports raises the possibility that this IP address has been used as a launch platform for attacks against external targets, potentially without the knowledge of its current operator. Organizations running IoT devices, industrial control systems, or any networked infrastructure should treat this IP as a clear indicator of hostile reconnaissance or active exploitation attempts.
Site operators should immediately block IP 64.23.161.101 at the firewall level given its elevated threat profile and extensive abuse history. Implement fail2ban or equivalent log-based intrusion prevention tools to dynamically block repeated connection attempts from this source. Review firewall and IDS logs for any prior interactions with this IP to identify potential successful reconnaissance or attempted exploitation. Ensure all systems—especially IoT devices and externally facing services—run current firmware and security patches, use strong non-default credentials, and operate on segmented network zones. Organizations with existing logs matching this IP's activity pattern should preserve those records for security review and consider reporting the abuse to DigitalOcean's trust and safety team.
