Critical Alert
IP 112.27.178.171 is a critical-risk address that has been identified as an exploited host, with automated honeypot sensors recording 236 reports across a nine-month observation window spanning September 2025 through May 2026.
The IP originates from China Mobile Communications Group Co., Ltd. (ASN AS9808) and carries a maximum threat score of 10/10, though the confidence rating of 67% indicates some uncertainty in attribution. Detection data sourced from 20 separate automated honeypot sensors documented 19 exploit-related incidents and 1 general hacking attempt. The captured attack patterns include malware and exploit activity, along with Suricata stream-layer anomalies characterized by broken acknowledgment packets — a technique often employed to evade detection or disrupt stateful inspection on targeted systems. The low activity frequency score of 0/10 suggests that while report volume is substantial, the IP's engagement with individual targets may be intermittent or targeted.
The dominant threat classification of Exploited Host indicates that IP 112.27.178.171 most likely belongs to an unwitting victim system that has been compromised and is now being weaponized by threat actors for subsequent attack campaigns. This transforms a legitimate endpoint into an attack platform, meaning the nominal operator may have no awareness of the malicious traffic originating from their infrastructure. The presence of stream-layer manipulation techniques combined with explicit exploit activity elevates the risk profile considerably, as successful exploitation could enable persistent unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or use as a pivot point for lateral movement within victim networks.
Network defenders should immediately block IP 112.27.178.171 at the perimeter firewall and implement rate-limiting controls on exposed services. Deploying tools such as fail2ban can automate dynamic blocking based on anomalous authentication patterns. Organizations should ensure all systems maintain current patch levels, enable intrusion detection monitoring on network boundaries, and consider notifying the China Mobile abuse desk to facilitate remediation of the compromised host. Regular review of firewall and IDS logs will help identify any successful connections originating from this address.
