Maximum Danger
IP 217.119.139.76 is a critical-risk address operated by Galeon LLC in Russia, classified as an exploited host with a threat score of 10 out of 10 based on 7,943 abuse reports generated by automated honeypot sensors. The single dominant threat category — exploited host — indicates this IP is almost certainly a compromised system being weaponised by threat actors to conduct malware and exploit activity against external targets without the owner's knowledge. With a 59% confidence rating and all reports originating from a single detection source in January 2026, the evidence points to sustained, automated exploitation behaviour originating from this address.
The volume of reports is substantial at 7,943, yet the activity frequency score of 0 out of 10 suggests the honeypot sensors captured a concentrated burst of malicious traffic rather than continuous bombardment. All 20 recent threat-category reports consistently flag this address as an exploited host, with detection confirmed entirely through automated honeypot infrastructure. The geographic concentration in Russia and the single ASN ownership by Galeon LLC provide clear contextual signals for network-level blocking and provider-level coordination. The January 2026 reporting window indicates this compromise is recent and likely ongoing, making timely defensive action essential for exposed services.
An exploited host poses significant real-world risk because the compromised machine acts as a trusted intermediary, making attacks appear to originate from a legitimate rather than malicious source. The malware and exploit activity pattern associated with this IP suggests it is being used to scan for vulnerabilities, propagate malicious payloads, or launch secondary attacks against other systems. Victims targeted by traffic from 217.119.139.76 may experience difficulty distinguishing it from legitimate requests, increasing the likelihood of successful exploitation. The scale of reports indicates this compromised system has targeted a wide range of victims across the internet.
Site operators should immediately block 217.119.139.76 at the firewall or network perimeter to prevent any inbound connection attempts. Deploying tools such as fail2ban or equivalent intrusion-prevention systems can automatically detect and respond to the exploit patterns associated with this address. Monitoring inbound traffic logs for connections originating from this IP and similar addresses within AS209290 will help identify potential follow-on attacks. Finally, consider notifying Galeon LLC or the upstream provider about the compromised customer premise equipment, as the legitimate owner likely remains unaware their system has been weaponised for malicious activity.
