Maximum Danger
IP 49.204.117.8 is a high-risk address associated with an exploited host operating from Indian network infrastructure, presenting a severe 10/10 threat level with 241 total abuse reports and confirmed malicious activity detected by automated honeypot sensors. The address, allocated to Atria Convergence Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (AS24309) in India, was first flagged in December 2025 and remains active, indicating sustained compromise of the underlying system for use as an attack platform.
Evidence from automated honeypot sensors confirms 20 distinct exploit detection events tied to malware and exploit activity patterns. The threat confidence score of 94% and activity frequency rating of 8/10 indicate persistent, high-confidence malicious behaviour rather than transient scanning. With 241 total community reports corroborating honeypot findings, the threat profile is strongly supported by multiple detection sources, establishing this as a confirmed compromised host rather than a misconfiguration or benign anomaly.
An exploited host represents a concrete security risk because the system operates under the control of threat actors without the owner's knowledge, functioning as infrastructure for further attacks. Malware and exploit activity from such a node can target external services, propagate malicious payloads, or serve as a pivot point for intrusions against other networks. The volume of reports and consistent activity frequency suggest the compromise is actively maintained, amplifying the risk to any exposed service encountering this address.
Network defenders should immediately block IP 49.204.117.8 at the perimeter firewall and implement inbound connection rate-limiting to mitigate automated exploitation attempts. Deploying or enhancing authentication mechanisms on exposed services, such as public key authentication with fail2ban or similar defensive tools, reduces the success rate of any residual attempts. Monitoring outbound traffic from internal infrastructure for communication patterns associated with the detected exploit activity can help identify potential lateral movement. Where feasible, consider notifying the ISP or system owner to facilitate remediation of the compromised host.
