Maximum Danger
130.12.180.117 is a critical-risk IP address classified as an exploited host, with 431 abuse reports filed against it from automated honeypot sensors during March 2026, indicating a compromised system being weaponized without its owner's knowledge.
The address is registered to Omegatech LTD under autonomous system AS202412 in the United States, with all 431 reports generated across 20 distinct honeypot sensors within a single month. While the activity frequency score of 0/10 suggests relatively spaced-out automated attack cycles, the sustained detection volume over this period confirms persistent malicious operation. A confidence score of 72% indicates moderate-to-high certainty that observed patterns represent genuine exploit behavior rather than noise or misclassification. The sole threat category across all reports is "Exploited Host," signaling that whatever software or operating system resides on this IP has been compromised and enrolled in an attacker's operational infrastructure.
An exploited host presents a concrete threat to internet-facing services because the compromised machine functions as a proxy for hostile activity, often launching automated attacks that mask the attacker's true origin while consuming the victim's defensive resources. The malware or exploit tooling running on 130.12.180.117 may be scanning for vulnerable ports, attempting unauthorized access against authentication systems, or propagating malicious payloads to other targets. Organizations with exposed SSH, RDP, HTTP or other network services may find their logs flooded with connection attempts originating from this address, degrading service performance and increasingalert fatigue among security teams.
Blocking 130.12.180.117 at the network perimeter immediately terminates any inbound abuse traffic. Operators should also consider submitting an abuse report to the hosting provider, as this enables them to notify the legitimate system owner and initiate remediation of the compromised host. Implementing automated dynamic blocking through tools such as fail2ban or equivalent intrusion-prevention systems can harden authentication layers against repeated connection attempts. Ongoing traffic monitoring and log analysis will help identify whether the blocked IP attempts to re-establish contact through alternative infrastructure or if any residual compromise exists within adjacent network segments.
