Significant Threat
IP 45.142.154.113 is a high-risk address associated with sustained hacking activity originating from Hong Kong, with 204 abuse reports filed across automated honeypot sensors over approximately nine months. The IP has been flagged with a threat level of 8 out of 10, indicating a serious and credible risk to exposed network services. The dominant threat pattern involves general intrusion attempts and exploitation probes, making this address particularly dangerous for any externally accessible system.
The address, registered to AGOTOZ PTE. LTD. under ASN AS9465, has accumulated reports from 20 distinct honeypot sensors since September 2025, with the most recent activity logged in May 2026. Despite a relatively low activity frequency score of 2 out of 10, the sheer volume of reports (204 total) demonstrates persistent, distributed probing behavior rather than isolated incident response. The 70% confidence score reflects that while the malicious intent is well-established, some portion of activity may overlap with automated security scanning. The 19 hacking-category reports substantially outweigh the single Exploited Host classification, suggesting the address is actively used for offensive operations rather than serving as a unwitting attack platform.
The hacking activity detected from this IP encompasses connection attempts, honeypot events and malware or exploit-related behavior targeting vulnerable services. Such patterns indicate the operator is systematically scanning and attempting to compromise exposed endpoints, potentially deploying exploit payloads or brute-force techniques against services with weak authentication. For organizations running SSH, RDP, web applications or other internet-facing services, this type of sustained probing represents a concrete pathway to unauthorized access, data exfiltration or malware deployment if vulnerabilities remain unpatched.
Network defenders should block IP 45.142.154.113 at the firewall or edge device immediately and implement rate-limiting on authentication endpoints to mitigate repeated login attempts. Deploying intrusion detection signatures tuned to exploit-pattern activity will help surface any subsequent connection attempts that bypass basic blocking. Services should be audited for exposure and hardened with strong credentials, multi-factor authentication and up-to-date patching. Organizations observing this IP in their logs should treat it as a confirmed hostile actor and consider notifying the upstream provider regarding the abusive traffic originating from their infrastructure.
