Severe Risk
IP 181.214.48.247 is a maximum-threat address originating from Brazil that has been flagged in 405 incident reports for active hacking activity, representing a severe risk to any exposed network service. The IP operates from AS210356 under the BattleHost network, and with a threat level scored at the highest possible rating, the cumulative evidence points to persistent, automated intrusion attempts against honeypot sensors worldwide.
The detection profile for 181.214.48.247 reflects sustained malicious engagement across automated honeypot infrastructure, with all 405 reports attributed to honeypot sensor detections rather than community-submitted telemetry. The activity window is confined to April 2026, indicating concentrated aggressive probing during that period. Despite the 10/10 threat classification, the activity frequency metric shows zero, suggesting that while historical volume is significant, recent connection attempts may have subsided or shifted targets. The geographic origin in Brazil places this address within a major Latin American internet population with extensive hosting infrastructure, and the BattleHost ASN designation is consistent with datacenter or cloud-hosted IP space commonly leveraged by threat actors for attack campaigns.
The dominant threat category logged against 181.214.48.247 is classified as general hacking activity, encompassing unauthorized access attempts, vulnerability probing, and exploitation attempts against exposed services. This pattern indicates that the address has been systematically scanning or brute-forcing targets rather than relying on a single exploit vector. The high volume of reports against honeypot sensors suggests the IP is part of an automated attack infrastructure, likely operating continuously to identify and compromise misconfigured or unpatched systems. For any organization with SSH, RDP, web interfaces, or database services directly accessible to the internet, this address represents an active, documented threat vector that has demonstrated hostile intent across multiple detection points.
Network defenders should treat 181.214.48.247 as a priority blocklist entry and implement automated blocking at the firewall or intrusion-prevention level. Deploying tools such as fail2ban or equivalent connection-tracking daemons can dynamically ban source IPs exhibiting brute-force patterns. Authentication hardening—including public key authentication, account lockout policies, and multi-factor authentication—significantly reduces the effectiveness of credential-guessing attacks originating from this address. Organizations should also audit exposed services for unnecessary internet accessibility and ensure all software is actively patched to mitigate the exploitation vectors typically associated with this threat profile.
