Maximum Danger
IP 66.132.153.52 is a high-risk address associated with 1,173 reported hacking incidents originating from automated honeypot sensors, placing it at the maximum threat level of 10 out of 10. All classified threat reports for this IP fall under the hacking category, indicating sustained intrusion attempts and unauthorized access activity against exposed services. Despite the address being geolocated in the United States and traced to network operator CENSYS-ARIN-01 under ASN AS398324, the volume and consistency of malicious activity reports make it a confirmed threat source warranting immediate defensive action.
The detection data reveals 20 distinct automated honeypot sensors flagged this IP across its reporting lifetime, spanning from August 2025 through March 2026. The confidence score of 68 percent reflects some uncertainty in definitive attribution, though the sheer volume of reports provides substantial empirical evidence of hostile intent. The zero activity frequency metric suggests the most recent interactions may have ceased or diminished, yet the comprehensive historical record of 1,173 separate incidents establishes a clear pattern of sustained malicious probing rather than isolated or accidental contact. The attack pattern consistently documented involves connection-based intrusion attempts targeting vulnerable services exposed to the internet.
The hacking activity classification encompasses a broad range of intrusion methodologies, including vulnerability exploitation, credential attacks, and unauthorized access attempts against exposed endpoints. For organizations running publicly accessible services, this IP represents a concrete risk of exploitation if adequate defensive controls are absent. Attackers leveraging such infrastructure typically conduct reconnaissance sweeps, then pivot to targeted exploitation when unpatched or misconfigured systems are identified. The repeated connection attempts from this address indicate automated tooling designed to scale reconnaissance efforts across vast numbers of potential targets.
Site operators should block this IP at the network perimeter firewall or through web application firewall rules to eliminate any potential attack vector. Implementing fail2ban or similar dynamic blocking tools can automate this process based on connection attempt thresholds. Organizations should ensure all internet-facing systems run current security patches, employ strong authentication mechanisms, and maintain intrusion detection monitoring to identify any subsequent attempts from alternative source addresses. Regular review of access logs for this IP and similar scanning patterns will help detect reconnaissance activity before it escalates to successful compromise.
