Notable Threat
IP 192.76.153.253 is a high-risk address operating from The Infrastructure Group B.V. infrastructure in the Netherlands, with 190 total abuse reports and an 8/10 threat level indicating significant malicious activity. The dominant threat profile combines hacking intrusion attempts, SSH brute-force attacks, and port-scanning reconnaissance, suggesting this IP is actively engaged in credential compromise and infrastructure mapping against exposed services worldwide.
Analysis of the 190 reports filed between October 2025 and May 2026 reveals a persistent threat actor detected by 14 automated honeypot sensors and 6 community sources. The report breakdown shows Hacking activity leading at 11 incidents, followed by 6 Brute-Force attempts, 4 Port Scan events, 2 Web App Attack probes, and 1 SSH-specific incident. Detection logs from network security sensors captured Ciscoasa port-scanning probes and Suricata alerts flagging SSH sessions on non-standard ports alongside active brute-force authentication attempts. The 74% confidence score reflects substantial corroborating evidence from multiple independent detection systems, though attribution remains inconclusive. With an activity frequency rated at 4/10, the pattern suggests sustained, deliberate targeting rather than opportunistic scanning bursts.
The combined Hacking and Brute-Force activity represents a concrete authentication bypass risk for any exposed SSH, web application, or remote administration interfaces. Port-scanning behavior indicates the operator is systematically cataloguing open services as preparation for follow-on exploitation, while web application probes suggest interest in vulnerable web-facing assets. The presence of Suricata alerts confirming active SSH sessions on unexpected ports points to either compromised legitimate traffic or encrypted tunneled connections being established from this address. Organizations with weak or default credentials on exposed services face immediate account compromise risk if this IP is permitted access.
Site operators should block IP 192.76.153.253 at the network perimeter firewall and implement fail2ban or equivalent log-analysis tools to automatically ban repeated authentication failures. Enforcing multi-factor authentication on all remote access services eliminates the primary attack surface that brute-force campaigns target. Rate-limiting authentication endpoints and applying account lockout policies after failed attempts further disrupts automated credential stuffing. Regular monitoring of access logs for connections originating from this address and maintaining intrusion detection signatures for the observed scanning patterns will strengthen defensive posture against similar reconnaissance activity.
