Maximum Danger
IP 216.9.225.39 is a critical-risk address originating from Turkey and operated by Fiba Cloud Operation Company, LLC (ASN AS44382), flagged across automated honeypot sensors with 385 total abuse reports and a maximum threat score of 10 out of 10. The IP's activity has been classified exclusively under the hacking category, indicating sustained intrusion-oriented behavior targeting vulnerable services exposed to the internet.
Analysis of the report data reveals a concentrated threat profile: all 385 reports stem from automated honeypot detections, with 20 recent incidents categorised as general hacking activity. The IP was first and most recently reported in October 2025, suggesting active engagement in malicious operations during that period. Despite the high report volume, the activity frequency metric of 0 out of 10 indicates the attacks are episodic and burst-oriented rather than continuous, which is consistent with targeted scanning or credential-based intrusion campaigns that probe systems intermittently to avoid detection thresholds. The 66% confidence score reflects that while the threat is well-documented, attribution to a specific malicious actor remains partially indeterminate.
The hacking classification encompasses a broad spectrum of intrusion techniques, including vulnerability scanning, brute-force authentication attempts, and exploitation of unpatched services. For any exposed SSH, RDP, web application, or database interface, this type of activity represents a direct pathway to unauthorised system access, data exfiltration, or lateral movement within a network. The fact that automated honeypot sensors across multiple environments logged this IP at volume suggests its scanning footprint is systematic and not limited to a single target.
Network operators should treat this IP as a confirmed hostile source and block it at the perimeter firewall or edge router level. Implementing automated defensive tools such as fail2ban or equivalent rate-limiting solutions can dynamically ban repeated offending IPs based on authentication failure patterns. All internet-facing services should enforce strong, unique credentials and disable default administrative accounts where possible. Consistent patch management and the use of intrusion detection or prevention systems will further reduce the attack surface this and similar IPs attempt to exploit.
