Maximum Danger
IP 34.140.119.220, operated by Google LLC under ASN AS396982 and geolocated in Belgium, presents a critical threat with a maximum severity rating of 10 out of 10. This address has accumulated 215 independent abuse reports sourced from 20 distinct automated honeypot sensors over a two-month window between March and April 2026. The combination of high report volume, near-perfect threat scoring, and 77% analytical confidence makes this one of the most unambiguously dangerous IP addresses in recent threat feeds for this network segment.
Detection data reveals three distinct threat vectors concentrated against this address. General hacking activity dominates the reports at 19 incidents, encompassing intrusion attempts and exploitation of vulnerable services. Two separate reports classify this IP as an exploited host, indicating the address may itself be running malicious tooling or serving as a staging point for further attacks. A single web application attack report rounds out the profile, suggesting probing activity against HTTP-based services. Suricata sensors flagged unsafe SMBv1 protocol usage consistent with malware or exploit delivery, while separate honeypots recorded web application reconnaissance probes and generic attack connections originating from this source.
The SMBv1 protocol detection is particularly concerning as this legacy protocol remains vulnerable to several remote-code-execution exploits and is frequently abused by ransomware operators and lateral-movement toolkits. Combined with the exploited host classification, evidence suggests IP 34.140.119.220 is either a compromised cloud resource being weaponized without its owner's knowledge, or infrastructure intentionally used to host attack tooling. The web application probing indicates active reconnaissance against exposed services, likely preceding more targeted exploitation attempts against victim networks.
Organizations with internet-facing services should immediately block IP 34.140.119.220 at the network perimeter. Deploy rate-limiting on authentication endpoints and enforce strong credential policies to withstand brute-force attempts. Keep all systems fully patched, particularly addressing SMBv1 exposure by disabling the protocol entirely where feasible. Consider notifying Google Cloud's abuse team given the exploited host indicators, and implement monitoring with tools such as fail2ban to automatically block repeated offending sources. Regular security audits of web applications will also reduce susceptibility to the reconnaissance activity this address has demonstrated.
