Substantial Risk
IP 147.185.132.39 is a critical-risk address operating from Google Cloud Platform infrastructure in the United States, linked to sustained hacking activity detected by automated honeypot sensors over approximately eight months with 232 total abuse reports and a threat score of 10 out of 10. This IP presents a high and ongoing risk to any exposed network services.
Threat intelligence data shows this address was first reported in October 2025 with continued activity through May 2026, yielding an activity frequency rating of 8 out of 10 and a 78 percent confidence score in the malicious classification. All 232 reported incidents originated from automated honeypot sensors, indicating broad-based detection across distributed monitoring infrastructure rather than isolated sightings. The reported threat category consistently points to general hacking activity, including intrusion attempts and unauthorized access probes. Network analysis reveals the traffic originates from AS396982 operated by Google Cloud Platform, a major public cloud provider frequently exploited by threat actors to anonymize malicious infrastructure. The detection signatures include Suricata alerts flagging protocol anomalies and one-directional application-layer communication patterns, suggesting reconnaissance and exploit preparation rather than incidental scanning.
Hacking activity as logged against this IP encompasses systematic attempts to exploit vulnerabilities, gain unauthorized access, and compromise targeted systems through repeated probe patterns. The sustained volume of reports over eight months indicates persistent automated scanning or targeted campaign activity rather than opportunistic or transient behavior. The Suricata protocol-detection alerts suggest the traffic involves malformed or unexpected application-layer communications designed to trigger vulnerabilities in exposed services or evade basic detection filters. Real-world risk includes potential credential stuffing against authentication endpoints, exploitation of unpatched software, and lateral movement if initial access is achieved. Organizations with exposed SSH, RDP, web applications, or API gateways face direct exposure to these intrusion attempts.
Network defenders should implement immediate blocking measures for this IP at the firewall or edge security layer given its sustained malicious reputation. Deploy rate-limiting on authentication endpoints and enforce strong credential policies to mitigate brute-force or credential-stuffing attempts. Ensure all exposed services are patched and running current versions, and consider implementing fail2ban or similar dynamic blocking tools to automatically respond to suspicious connection patterns. Monitor logs for any matching authentication failures, unusual protocol behavior, or connection attempts originating from this address, and enrich threat-intelligence feeds to flag this IP across security toolsets.
