High Risk
IP 65.49.20.69 is a high-risk address linked to sustained hacking activity, with 540 abuse reports filed against it and a threat level of 8 out of 10. The IP has been under consistent scrutiny since August 2025, with automated honeypot sensors flagging it through June 2026, indicating an ongoing and persistent threat profile rather than isolated malicious behavior.
The address is routed through AS6939, operated by Hurricane Electric in the United States. All 20 of the most recent reports originate from automated honeypot sensors, lending a high confidence score of 88 percent to the assessment. The activity frequency rating of 8 out of 10 and the volume of total reports spanning approximately 11 months confirm this is not opportunistic scanning but sustained, deliberate intrusion activity. The geographic location in the US does not diminish the risk; threat actors frequently route traffic through US-based hosting providers to obfuscate origin and exploit the reputation of major network operators.
Hacking activity as classified here encompasses a broad range of intrusion attempts, including vulnerability scanning, exploitation of unpatched services, and unauthorized access probing. The persistent nature of reports against this IP suggests automated scanning campaigns or coordinated exploitation toolkits operating continuously. For any exposed service, this translates to a concrete risk of credential compromise, data exfiltration, or foothold establishment within a network if defensive controls are absent.
Site operators should block or heavily rate-limit this address at the firewall or network edge to eliminate known malicious traffic. Deploying automated dynamic blocking tools such as fail2ban can further reduce risk by responding to repeated attack patterns without manual intervention. Ensuring all exposed services are actively patched, enforcing strong authentication requirements, and maintaining intrusion detection monitoring will provide defense-in-depth against the exploitation techniques associated with this IP address.
