Critical Threat
IP 49.248.32.27 is a high-risk address associated with an exploited host, meaning the system has been compromised and is actively being weaponised for malicious purposes without the owner's knowledge. Registered to Tata Teleservices Maharashtra Ltd under ASN AS17762 in India, this IP carries a maximum threat score of 10 out of 10 and has accumulated 266 abuse reports from automated honeypot sensors between December 2025 and February 2026.
The report volume of 266 incidents over approximately three months reflects sustained malicious engagement with exposed services. All detections have originated from automated honeypot sensors, which consistently flagged the address for malware and exploit-related activity. The confidence score of 59 percent indicates moderate certainty in the classification, accounting for factors such as the nature of the reported activity and the pattern of detections. The zero activity frequency rating suggests that recent interaction has tapered, though the historical data confirms a period of active exploitation behaviour. Geographically anchored to India and routed through a major regional telecommunications provider, this address presents a concrete threat to any exposed infrastructure it targets.
An exploited host classification signifies that a previously legitimate device has been compromised, often through malware or unpatched vulnerabilities, and is now operating as an unwitting attack platform. The associated malware and exploit activity means the IP is likely being used to scan for vulnerable services, propagate malicious payloads, or participate in broader criminal infrastructure. For organisations running publicly accessible services, this address represents a real-world vector for intrusion attempts, data exfiltration, or secondary compromise. The fact that the IP belongs to a consumer or business internet connection means its owner is likely unaware of the misuse, making proactive blocking by potential targets the most effective immediate defence.
Site operators should block IP 49.248.32.27 at the firewall or network perimeter immediately. Implementing fail2ban or similar intrusion-prevention tools can automate the identification and temporary banning of repeated malicious source addresses. Hardening authentication on exposed services — enforcing strong credentials, disabling default accounts, and enabling multi-factor authentication — reduces the success rate of any follow-on attempts from this or related infrastructure. Continuous monitoring of abuse feeds and honeypot telemetry will help identify if the threat profile changes or if the address returns to active targeting.
