Critical Alert
IP address 61.245.11.87, registered to CARRIERDOMAIN-NYC in the Philippines, presents a maximum threat level of 10/10 based on 462 total abuse reports and automated honeypot detections logged between December 2025 and March 2026. The overwhelming majority of classified activity involves general hacking intrusion attempts alongside persistent SSH brute-force campaigns targeting exposed server login interfaces.
The collected evidence draws from 18 automated honeypot sensor detections and 2 community-submitted reports, yielding a confidence score of 61 percent. Categorical breakdowns indicate 16 hacking-related events, 3 specifically identified SSH brute-force attempts, and 2 IoT-targeted exploitation probes against web-facing CGI endpoints. Suricata intrusion-detection signatures confirmed active SSH sessions on non-standard ports consistent with automated credential-guessing, while web-server logs captured path-traversal probe patterns against /cgi-bin URI structures commonly found in embedded devices and older network hardware. Despite the substantial historical report volume, the current activity frequency registers at zero out of ten, suggesting the scanning campaign has concluded or shifted to alternative infrastructure.
SSH brute-force attacks represent one of the most common and repeatable pathways attackers use to gain unauthorized shell access to Linux servers and network appliances. By systematically cycling through username and password combinations against exposed SSH daemons, threat actors can achieve initial foothold, escalate privileges, and deploy secondary payloads including cryptocurrency miners, ransomware or persistent backdoors. Meanwhile, IoT-targeted path-traversal probes against /cgi-bin endpoints target known vulnerabilities in routers, IP cameras and NAS devices that ship with weak default configurations and rarely receive firmware updates. Even if this particular host is currently dormant, its history demonstrates a capability set that could resume at any time against new victim infrastructure.
Administrators exposing SSH services to the internet should enforce key-based authentication, disable root login, and consider relocating the daemon to a non-standard port. Implementing fail2ban or similar dynamic blocking tools will automatically ban source addresses after repeated authentication failures. For web servers and IoT devices, restrict access to /cgi-bin paths via firewall rules, apply all available vendor patches, and segment networked devices onto isolated VLANs to limit lateral movement if compromise occurs. Continuous monitoring of abuse-report feeds remains advisable given this address demonstrated persistent scanning intent within the past three months.
