Maximum Danger
IP 45.142.193.139 is a critical-risk address operated by Skynet Network Ltd in Romania that has been linked to 227 hacking reports over a four-month active period, with an abuse confidence score of 94 percent and a threat-level rating of 10 out of 10. This IP represents one of the most consistently hostile sources documented in recent community threat feeds, demonstrating persistent unauthorized-access behaviour against exposed network services.
Automated honeypot sensors logged all 20 most recent threat reports attributed to this address between March 2026 and June 2026, establishing a confirmed timeline of hostile activity spanning at least four months. The IP's activity frequency score of 8 out of 10 indicates that connections from 45.142.193.139 are neither isolated nor accidental — they reflect deliberate, repeated reconnaissance and intrusion attempts against internet-facing systems. The network is registered to Skynet Network Ltd under autonomous system number AS214295, providing clear routing context for those evaluating whether to implement geographic or ASN-based filtering on their perimeters.
The dominant threat category — hacking — encompasses a broad range of unauthorized-access techniques including vulnerability exploitation, credential-guessing campaigns, and probing for misconfigured or unpatched services. The abstract attack-pattern signature associated with this IP describes repeated connection behaviour consistent with automated scanning and exploit delivery. For any exposed service, these patterns represent a concrete risk of compromise if left unmitigated, particularly for SSH, Telnet, HTTP APIs, or database interfaces that accept external connections.
Site operators should treat connections from 45.142.193.139 as hostile and implement immediate defensive measures: block or rate-limit the address at the firewall or edge device, enforce strong authentication on all internet-facing services, and monitor logs for the connection patterns this source is known to generate. Deploying tools such as fail2ban or equivalent log-analysis frameworks can automate the detection and temporary blocking of repeat offenders. Keeping systems patched, restricting service exposure through network segmentation, and maintaining intrusion-detection monitoring will further reduce the attack surface that this IP has been observed targeting.
