High Risk
IP 46.151.178.13 is a high-risk address operated by Sino Worldwide Trading Limited under ASN AS211443, linked to both hacking intrusion attempts and coordinated IoT device targeting with a threat level of 8/10 and over 4,200 abuse reports since early 2026.
Automated honeypot sensors have logged 4,206 reports against this Netherlands-registered IP across a six-month window from February to July 2026, with activity detected at a frequency rated 8/10 and 87% confidence of malicious intent. The detection network comprising at least 20 distinct sensors captured both general hacking probes and specific IoT-targeted exploitation patterns, including SURICATA alerts flagging anomalous app-layer protocol behavior during attack connections. The sustained report volume and elevated activity frequency indicate persistent automated operations rather than opportunistic scanning.
The dual threat profile observed from this IP presents distinct risk vectors to exposed infrastructure. The hacking category signals ongoing vulnerability probing and unauthorized access attempts against services reachable from the internet, while the IoT targeting component suggests participation in campaigns exploiting weak credentials and unpatched firmware on connected devices such as cameras, routers, and smart sensors. The observed app-layer anomalies point to protocol-level manipulation or evasion techniques designed to bypass basic detection, indicating technically capable adversaries leveraging this infrastructure.
Network defenders should immediately block or significantly rate-limit traffic originating from this address and deploy intrusion detection signatures to identify similar behavioral patterns across their perimeter. Organizations with internet-facing services should enforce strong authentication, apply timely patches, and implement account lockout policies to mitigate brute-force risks. Users with IoT deployments should audit device hardening practices, change default credentials, disable universal plug-and-play where possible, and consider network segmentation to limit lateral movement potential if these devices are compromised.
