Extreme Threat
IP 64.62.197.241 is a high-risk address linked to repeated hacking intrusion attempts and port-scanning reconnaissance activity, with a threat level of 8/10 and 261 total abuse reports logged against it over approximately nine months of active detection.
Operating from Hurricane Electric's network (AS6939) in the United States, this IP has been flagged by 20 distinct automated honeypot sensors between August 2025 and May 2026, indicating coordinated hostile scanning across distributed detection infrastructure. The reported activity includes 19 confirmed hacking-category incidents involving general intrusion attempts, exploitation probes, and unauthorized access attempts, alongside a single port-scan event specifically targeting Cisco adaptive security appliances. The combination of moderate activity frequency (2/10) alongside the substantial cumulative report volume suggests persistent rather than burst-pattern behavior, meaning this address continues probing targets long after initial detection.
The hacking-category detections represent the primary threat concern, encompassing various intrusion methodologies that seek to compromise exposed services through exploit attempts and credential-based attacks. Port scanning activity functions as preliminary reconnaissance, systematically cataloguing open services and potential entry vectors before more targeted exploitation. When combined, these behaviors reflect a staged attack methodology where scanning identifies vulnerable endpoints and subsequent hacking attempts capitalize on discovered weaknesses. The Ciscoasa probe specifically noted in detection logs indicates deliberate targeting of network edge security appliances, which could enable firewall bypass or lateral movement if successful.
Network administrators should immediately block IP 64.62.197.241 at perimeter firewalls and implement automated blocking mechanisms such as fail2ban to prevent repeated connection attempts. Exposed services should be minimized through strict firewall rules and network segmentation, while intrusion detection systems should be tuned to flag similar scanning patterns. Regular security audits and prompt patching of network edge devices will reduce the attack surface this and similar hostile addresses attempt to exploit.
