Notable Threat
IP 65.49.1.182, registered to Hurricane Electric's network in the United States, presents a high-risk threat profile with a threat level of 8 out of 10 and an activity frequency rated 8 out of 10. This address has accumulated 897 total abuse reports from 20 automated honeypot sensors over approximately ten months, with the most recent activity recorded in June 2026. The dominant threat category is general hacking activity, supplemented by a single exploitation indicator, suggesting persistent unauthorized access attempts and potential compromise indicators consistent with either an active attack platform or a system participating in malicious traffic without its owner's knowledge.
The report volume of 897 incidents across two dozen detection sensors within a ten-month window demonstrates sustained, aggressive activity rather than opportunistic scanning. Detection sources flagged attack connection patterns alongside Suricata protocol mismatch alerts, indicating that the observed traffic involved malformed or unexpected application-layer communications. The presence of malware or exploit-related signatures in the reported attack patterns reinforces the classification of this address as engaged in hostile probing or attack delivery. Hurricane Electric's AS6939 is a major US backbone provider frequently abused as a transit network for malicious actors due to its scale and flexible allocation policies, which complicates attribution but does not diminish the concrete threat signals observed.
Hacking activity at this scale typically encompasses credential brute-forcing, vulnerability scanning, and exploitation attempts against exposed services such as SSH, RDP, HTTP APIs, or mail servers. The reported Exploited Host classification raises the additional possibility that this IP belongs to a compromised server being weaponized for secondary attacks, meaning the nominal operator may be an unwitting participant. The Suricata protocol mismatch alerts suggest that this address is generating traffic designed to confuse or evade detection systems, a hallmark of sophisticated intrusion tooling. Organizations with internet-facing services exposed to this address risk unauthorized access, lateral movement, data exfiltration, or infection through delivered payloads.
