Severe Risk
IP 62.164.177.41 is a high-risk address linked to widespread hacking activity, with a critical threat rating of 10 out of 10 and over 1,500 abuse reports filed against it. This Dutch IP address, registered to Data Campus Limited on AS215929, has demonstrated sustained intrusive behavior across automated honeypot sensors since April 2026, making it one of the most actively reported sources of unauthorized access attempts observed in recent months.
The volume of reports is substantial — 1,554 total complaints — detected by 20 separate automated honeypot sensors distributed across the network. An activity frequency rating of 8 out of 10 confirms this is not an isolated incident but a persistent, high-volume threat actor operating continuously over a three-month window from April through July 2026. The 94% confidence score indicates overwhelming consensus among detection systems that this address is engaged in malicious activity rather than legitimate traffic. The Netherlands-based origin does not indicate any particular trust advantage; threat actors routinely operate from IP addresses in well-connected, commercially available hosting environments.
The dominant threat category — hacking — encompasses a broad range of intrusion techniques, including exploitation attempts against known vulnerabilities, scanning for exposed services, and probing for misconfigured systems. Each successful connection represents a potential entry point for further compromise, data exfiltration, or lateral movement within a network. For any organization running exposed services — particularly SSH, FTP, HTTP interfaces, or database ports — repeated contact from this address signals an active reconnaissance or exploitation campaign targeting your infrastructure.
Site operators should treat this IP as immediately hostile and block it at the firewall or network edge. Implementing fail2ban, crowdsecurity, or similar dynamic blocking tools can automatically mitigate repeated connection attempts. Enforce strong authentication on all exposed services, disable unused protocols, and ensure systems are patched against known vulnerabilities. Continuous monitoring of authentication logs for attempts originating from this address will help identify any successful breaches. Restricting access to administrative interfaces to known IP ranges provides an additional hardening layer against this class of threat.
