High Risk
IP address 62.60.130.169 is a high-risk address with a threat level of 7/10 that has accumulated 1,527 abuse reports from automated honeypot sensors, predominantly for email spam activity originating from Iranian network infrastructure. The IP demonstrates a very high activity frequency of 8/10 and has been under continuous observation since first being reported in May 2026, with the most recent reports logged in July 2026.
Analysis of the report corpus reveals 20 confirmed email spam incidents attributed to this address, detected exclusively through honeypot infrastructure. With a confidence score of 87%, the characterisation of this IP as a persistent email spam vector is well-supported by the evidence. Geolocation data places the IP within Iranian network space (AS215930), operated by Cipher Operations Doo Beograd - Novi Beograd — a discrepancy that may indicate anonymisation service usage or compromised infrastructure being leveraged remotely. The sustained reporting period of approximately three months indicates this is not an isolated incident but rather ongoing, deliberate malicious activity consistent with a dedicated spam operation.
Email spam operations represent a concrete threat to organisations operating exposed SMTP services, as mass distribution of unsolicited messages can degrade server performance, exhaust bandwidth resources, and serve as a delivery mechanism for phishing campaigns or malware payloads. The volume of reports associated with this address suggests it is actively employed in high-throughput spam distribution, placing any directly accessible mail transfer agent at risk of blacklist inclusion, reputation damage, and potential credential compromise if recipient users fall victim to associated social engineering lures.
Site operators maintaining publicly accessible mail servers should consider implementing multi-layered authentication protocols such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to verify inbound message legitimacy. Deploying tools like fail2ban or equivalent rate-limiting solutions can automatically block IPs exhibiting brute-force or high-volume connection patterns. Regular review of established blocklists such as the Spamhaus Project can help ensure that inbound filtering remains current with the latest threat intelligence regarding this and similar addresses.
