Substantial Risk
IP 64.62.156.108 is a high-risk address linked to sustained hacking activity, originating from Hurricane Electric's network (AS6939) in the United States. With 510 total abuse reports, a threat level of 8/10, and activity detected by 20 automated honeypot sensors, this IP represents a persistent intrusion threat to exposed services. The dominant threat category is general hacking activity, which includes exploitation attempts, unauthorized access probes, and malware-related operations.
Analysis of the report data shows this address has been monitored from August 2025 through June 2026, indicating an extended campaign rather than an isolated incident. The 17 recent hacking-related reports, combined with evidence of exploited host behavior and IoT targeting, paints a picture of an address engaged in multi-vector reconnaissance and attack operations. The detected patterns include SMTP abuse with anomalous TLS record handling, suricata-based protocol detection anomalies, and direct targeting of IoT and ICS infrastructure. The 88% confidence score reflects strong correlation across multiple sensor sources, while the high activity frequency rating confirms this is not a transient or opportunistic address but rather one with documented, repeated hostile intent.
Hacking activity of this magnitude exposes network services to significant real-world risk. Protocol detection anomalies and TLS irregularities suggest the address may be probing for misconfigured services or attempting to establish covert communication channels. The IoT targeting component indicates an interest in compromising edge devices, which often lack robust security controls and can serve as persistent beachheads within a network. Organizations with exposed SMTP services, unpatched IoT devices, or weak TLS configurations are particularly vulnerable to the techniques observed from this source.
Site operators should take immediate defensive action. Block or rate-limit connections from this address at the network edge using firewall rules or tools such as fail2ban. Ensure all exposed services run current software versions and apply TLS hardening to eliminate anomalous record processing. Implement intrusion detection monitoring to capture any follow-on activity from this source. Organizations that have received direct probes from this IP should conduct targeted vulnerability assessments, as the combination of IoT targeting and exploit activity suggests the address may have already scanned for specific weaknesses in your infrastructure.
