Severe Risk
IP 185.16.39.52 is a high-risk address operating from Polish network infrastructure that has generated 230 abuse reports attributed to automated honeypot sensors, with hacking activity confirmed as the dominant threat category at a 10/10 threat level. This IP originates from AS201814, operated by MEVSPACE sp. z o.o., and was first and last reported in December 2025, indicating concentrated malicious activity within a narrow timeframe. Despite a low activity frequency score of 0/10, the volume of incident reports combined with the maximum threat rating establishes this address as a credible and dangerous source of intrusion attempts targeting exposed services.
The detection data reveals 230 total reports sourced from automated honeypot sensors, with the most recent activity attributed specifically to hacking attempts. The 79% confidence score reflects a robust correlation between the observed behavior and known malicious patterns, though a minority of reports may represent inconclusive or partially validated incidents. The geographic origin in Poland and the commercial hosting context provided by MEVSPACE sp. z o.o. offer limited exculpatory value, as threat actors routinely operate from legitimate hosting providers to obfuscate attribution and maximize availability. The concentration of reports within a single month suggests a targeted campaign rather than opportunistic scanning, which may indicate deliberate reconnaissance or exploitation of specific vulnerabilities.
Hacking activity encompasses a broad spectrum of intrusion behaviors, including vulnerability exploitation, unauthorized access attempts, and exploitation tool deployment. For exposed services such as SSH, RDP, web applications, or administrative interfaces, this classification signals that the operator behind 185.16.39.52 is actively probing for entry points rather than engaging in passive reconnaissance. Even low-frequency activity from a maximally-rated threat source poses significant risk to unpatched or misconfigured systems, as successful exploitation can grant persistent access, enable lateral movement, or facilitate data exfiltration. The honeypot detections confirm that traffic from this IP exhibits signatures consistent with active exploitation tooling.
