Maximum Danger
IP 89.233.220.177 is a high-risk address linked to hacking activity, with a threat level of 10 out of 10 and 164 abuse reports filed through automated honeypot sensors, indicating persistent intrusion attempt behavior against exposed network services.
The IP originates from Sweden and operates within the AS29518 autonomous system managed by Bredband2 AB. All reported activity was documented during November 2025, with 20 distinct automated honeypot sensors flagging the address for hacking-related intrusion attempts. While the activity frequency metric registers at zero out of ten, this likely reflects successful detection and blocking rather than an absence of hostile intent, as the substantial volume of reports from multiple independent sensor sources demonstrates sustained probing behavior. The 70 percent confidence score acknowledges that report attribution carries inherent uncertainty, yet the concentration of identical threat-category reports across numerous detection points strengthens the assessment that this address is actively involved in unauthorized access campaigns.
The dominant threat classification of hacking encompasses a broad spectrum of intrusion techniques including vulnerability exploitation, credential brute-forcing, and unauthorized access attempts against exposed services. For network operators and service administrators, this classification signals that the source address has been observed actively attempting to compromise systems rather than merely generating nuisance traffic. The real-world risk includes potential unauthorized system access, data exfiltration from poorly secured services, or use of compromised assets as stepping stones for further attacks. Any exposed service accepting connections from this IP faces elevated risk of exploitation if security controls are insufficient.
Network defenders should immediately block IP 89.233.220.177 at the firewall level and implement geolocation-based restrictions if Swedish origin traffic is not expected. Implementing strict rate-limiting on authentication endpoints and enforcing strong password policies reduces the effectiveness of any intrusion attempts that slip through perimeter controls. Deploying intrusion detection systems with logging and alerting for connections from this address enables rapid incident response. Organizations running exposed services should audit access logs for any prior interaction with this IP and consider proactive measures such as fail2ban or similar dynamic blocking tools to automatically mitigate repeated threat sources.
