Elevated Risk
IP 206.189.95.232 is a critical-risk address operated by DigitalOcean's ASN 14061 infrastructure in Singapore, recording 175 abuse reports between December 2025 and March 2026 with a threat level of 10 out of 10. The overwhelming majority of confirmed incidents—20 of the 25 categorised reports—constitute active hacking activity, including vulnerability exploitation attempts, intrusion probing, and unauthorized access campaigns, supplemented by isolated indicators of distributed denial-of-service coordination, WordPress configuration reconnaissance, and resource exhaustion techniques.
The detection footprint spans 19 automated honeypot sensors and one community submission, placing this IP squarely within an automated, high-volume threat operation rather than isolated manual probing. With an activity frequency rated 8 out of 10 and a three-to-four-month sustained reporting window, the address demonstrates persistent, repeated targeting of internet-facing services. The associated network range is a major cloud hosting provider, meaning this activity originates from what is likely a compromised droplet or a rented offensive infrastructure—a common pattern for threat actors seeking flexible, disposable exit nodes.
The dominant hacking classification encompasses a broad spectrum of intrusion tradecraft, including exploitation of known vulnerabilities, credential-guessing campaigns, and reconnaissance against web applications. The accompanying WordPress-specific techniques—cron abuse, configuration file scanning, and resource exhaustion—indicate targeted campaigns against CMS deployments, potentially for compromise, spam injection, or cryptojacking deployment. The presence of distributed denial-of-service indicators suggests this IP may serve as a participant in a larger attack swarm, amplifying traffic toward victim infrastructure.
Site operators should block this address immediately at the firewall or network edge, implement fail2ban or equivalent log-analysis tools to auto-block repeated intrusion patterns, and enforce strong authentication on all exposed services—particularly SSH and web application admin panels. Regular patch management, web application firewalls, and monitoring for the specific scanning signatures observed (WordPress configuration probes and cron endpoint abuse) will reduce exposure to the attack patterns this IP has demonstrated.
