Critical Alert
IP 45.142.193.6 is a critical-risk address assessed at threat level 10/10 with a 94% confidence rating, linked predominantly to sustained hacking activity including exploitation attempts and attack connections. The IP has accumulated 553 separate abuse reports from automated honeypot sensors, indicating persistent hostile reconnaissance and intrusion attempts against exposed services.
Geographic and network analysis places 45.142.193.6 in Romania routing through AS214295, operated by Skynet Network Ltd. The address was first reported in April 2026 and most recently in May 2026, with an activity frequency rating of 8/10 indicating near-continuous hostile engagement. Twenty separate honeypot sensor installations contributed reports, demonstrating that this threat actor systematically probes multiple infrastructure points. The preponderance of activity falls under the Hacking category (19 incidents), supplemented by a single Exploited Host report suggesting the address may function as a compromised platform weaponized against third-party targets.
The dominant Hacking classification encompasses broad-spectrum intrusion activity including vulnerability exploitation, unauthorized access attempts, and ongoing attack connections documented through malware and exploit signatures. The Exploited Host designation raises the possibility that systems under this address are being leveraged as attack infrastructure without the operator's knowledge. Concrete risks to exposed services include credential harvesting, vulnerability exploitation, and potential deployment of malicious payloads leading to data compromise or lateral movement.
Network defenders should immediately block 45.142.193.6 at perimeter firewalls and implement rate-limiting on authentication endpoints
