Severe Risk
IP 146.70.178.116 is a critical-risk address operating from Germany within the M247 Europe SRL network that has accumulated 2,593 total abuse reports, with automated honeypot sensors flagging recent Web application reconnaissance activity. The threat level of 10/10 reflects the volume of historical reports, though the 60% confidence score indicates some uncertainty in attribution, and the zero activity frequency suggests the most aggressive testing may have occurred earlier in the December 2025 reporting window.
The detection data shows 20 Web App Attack category reports sourced exclusively from automated honeypot sensors during the December 2025 period, aligning with the first and last reported dates. The target network is AS9009, operated by M247 Europe SRL, a provider known for commercial proxy and VPN infrastructure that frequently attracts threat actors seeking IP anonymity. The geographic location in Germany may reflect exit-node placement rather than the ultimate origin of the probing activity, a common characteristic of traffic traversing commercial proxy services.
Web application attacks encompass reconnaissance and exploitation attempts targeting vulnerabilities described in the OWASP Top 10, including injection flaws, broken authentication, and misconfigured access controls. Even low-volume probing from this address poses a real risk to exposed web services, as automated scanners can rapidly identify and catalogue vulnerable endpoints. The abstract pattern of web app reconnaissance noted in the detection data indicates systematic scanning behaviour designed to map attack surfaces rather than single-packet curiosity.
Site operators should treat IP 146.70.178.116 as a confirmed threat source and implement defensive controls accordingly. Deploying a Web Application Firewall with rules tuned to OWASP threats will block common attack vectors. Rate-limiting incoming requests and enforcing strong authentication on administrative interfaces reduces exposure to credential-based attacks. Regular security audits and prompt patching of web application dependencies eliminate the vulnerabilities such scanners seek to exploit. Tools like fail2ban can automate IP blocking based on honeypot-style log patterns, further reducing the attack surface.
