Significant Threat
IP 65.49.1.10 is a high-risk address associated with sustained hacking activity, scoring 8/10 on the threat scale with 527 total abuse reports submitted through automated honeypot sensors over an eleven-month window from August 2025 through June 2026. The dominant threat profile reflects general intrusion attempts, exploitation of vulnerabilities, and reconnaissance scanning, indicating an active attack infrastructure rather than an isolated incident. Given the high activity frequency rating of 8/10 and the volume of reports across 20 distinct sensor sources, this IP poses a concrete threat to any exposed services.
Network telemetry places IP 65.49.1.10 within AS6939, operated by Hurricane Electric, a major United States-based backbone provider. The abuse corpus documenting this address spans approximately eleven months, with the most recent community submissions occurring in June 2026. The 527 reports were generated by automated honeypot sensors distributed across multiple networks, a breadth of coverage that increases confidence in the assessment to 85%. Observed attack patterns include generic attack connections, malware or exploit activity, and specifically Ciscoasa port scanning and probing behavior, suggesting the operator is systematically mapping exposed Cisco security appliances as potential entry points.
The concentration of hacking-related reports indicates this address is being used to conduct unauthorized access attempts against target systems, likely exploiting known vulnerabilities or weak authentication configurations. The Ciscoasa scanning component reveals a focused reconnaissance effort against specific firewall and security hardware, which attackers frequently leverage to identify unpatched devices vulnerable to command injection or authentication bypass. The presence of malware and exploit activity patterns suggests the IP may be hosting malicious tooling or functioning as a staging point for secondary attacks. An exploited host classification, though less prevalent in recent reports, remains plausible given the sustained aggressive posture observed across the detection timeline.
Site operators should immediately block IP 65.49.1.10 at the firewall level and implement automated blocking via tools such as fail2ban or equivalent threat-feeds to prevent repeated connection attempts. Exposed CiscoASA devices require immediate patching and should be verified against manufacturer advisories addressing the specific vulnerabilities associated with scanning activity. Port exposure should be minimized, with strict firewall rules limiting inbound access to essential services only. Continuous monitoring for scanning patterns and authentication failures from this address and adjacent ranges within AS6939 will help identify attempted exploitation in real time.
