Severe Risk
IP 45.194.92.199 is a high-risk address associated with general hacking activity, assessed at a critical threat level of 10/10, with 342 total abuse reports logged between January and February 2026. The IP is registered to Vpsvault.host Ltd under ASN AS215925, a VPS hosting provider in the United States, and has been flagged exclusively through automated honeypot sensors, yielding a confidence score of 64 percent.
Detection data indicates 20 confirmed hacking-category incidents within the recent reporting window, all attributed to automated honeypot infrastructure rather than direct user community submissions. Despite the high volume of historical reports, the current activity frequency metric registers at zero out of ten, suggesting either a temporary lull in operations or a change in targeting patterns. The network operator's use of a commercial VPS platform is consistent with threat actors leveraging cloud infrastructure for disposable command-and-control or scanning operations, enabling rapid IP rotation and geographic ambiguity despite the apparent US registration.
The dominant threat category, classified as general hacking activity, encompasses unauthorized access attempts, vulnerability probing, and intrusion-enumeration techniques targeting exposed services. While the confidence score of 64 percent introduces some analytical uncertainty, the consistent volume of honeypot detections confirms malicious reconnaissance and exploitdelivery behavior. Real-world risk manifests as potential credential compromise, service exploitation, or use as a pivot point for lateral movement within targeted networks.
Network defenders should block or severely restrict inbound access from 45.194.92.199 at the network perimeter and implement automated tooling such as fail2ban to dynamically ban repeated offenders. Enforcing strong authentication, limiting service exposure to trusted IPs via firewall rules, and maintaining current patch cycles across internet-facing systems will reduce susceptibility to observed attack patterns. Continuous monitoring of authentication logs for brute-force signatures and anomalous login geographies remains essential given the persistent abuse history associated with this address.
