Elevated Risk
IP 167.94.146.59 is a high-risk address originating from the United States within network AS398705 (CENSYS-ARIN-02), exhibiting a threat level of 8/10 and a 95% confidence score based on 382 total abuse reports from 20 automated honeypot sensors. The IP was first reported in August 2025 and most recently in June 2026, demonstrating persistent hostile activity over approximately eleven months with an activity frequency rated 8/10. The dominant threat category is general hacking activity, accounting for 18 of the 20 categorized reports, supplemented by single instances of exploited host behavior and IoT-targeted activity.
The detection data reveals that this address was flagged across a broad sensor network, indicating it conducts widespread scanning or probing behavior rather than isolated incidents. The 382 aggregate reports spanning an extended timeframe confirm consistent, high-volume malicious engagement. Geographic placement in the United States and association with an ARIN-registered network operator provides network context, though the IP's behavior pattern clearly aligns with hostile infrastructure rather than legitimate traffic. The high activity frequency score of 8/10 underscores that this address actively and repeatedly targets vulnerable services across the internet, with honeypot event documentation and malware/exploit activity further corroborating aggressive scanning operations.
Hacking activity as the primary threat category encompasses intrusion attempts, vulnerability exploitation, and unauthorized access probes against exposed services. When an IP exhibits this behavior at high frequency and volume, it signals systematic reconnaissance or direct assault against target systems. The co-occurrence of exploited host classification suggests this address may originate from or route through a compromised system, while the IoT-targeted designation indicates potential scanning for vulnerable connected devices such as routers, cameras, or smart devices with weak security configurations. Together, these patterns present concrete risk to any publicly accessible service, particularly those with unpatched vulnerabilities, default credentials, or exposed administrative interfaces.
Site operators should treat this IP as malicious and block it at the network perimeter or firewall level to prevent reconnaissance and attack traffic. Implementing strict rate-limiting on authentication endpoints and enforcing strong, unique credentials significantly reduces susceptibility to the probing activity this address conducts. Regular vulnerability scanning and prompt patching of exposed services disrupts the exploitation window that hacking-focused IPs like this one attempt to leverage. Deploying defensive tooling such as fail2ban or equivalent intrusion prevention mechanisms can automatically recognize and respond to the automated attack patterns associated with this address.
