Severe Risk
IP 81.70.2.239 is a high-risk address operating from Shenzhen Tencent Computer Systems Company Limited infrastructure in China, classified as an exploited host with a critical threat level of 10/10 based on 202 total abuse reports from automated honeypot sensors. The dominant activity pattern involves Redis exploitation attempts and active attack connections, indicating this IP has been compromised and weaponized by threat actors to conduct automated intrusion operations against exposed services globally.
The IP was first reported in August 2025 with continued activity through May 2026, generating reports from 20 distinct honeypot sensors. While the activity frequency rate of 2/10 suggests intermittent rather than constant scanning, the sheer volume of reports combined with the critical threat classification demonstrates persistent malicious intent. AS45090 serves as the network origin, placing the compromised infrastructure within Tencent's cloud and hosting environment in mainland China. The 69% confidence score reflects the automated nature of detection with clear evidence of hostile network behavior, though the exact compromise vector remains partially undetermined.
As an exploited host, this IP presents significant risk to any internet-exposed services, particularly Redis instances lacking authentication or network-level access controls. The attack patterns observed suggest automated exploitation toolkits designed to identify vulnerable deployments, inject payloads, and potentially establish persistent backdoor access. The "attack connection" pattern indicates the system actively initiates connections to targets rather than simply responding to probes, confirming it has been fully commandeered for offensive operations. Organizations running exposed Redis, Memcached, or similar NoSQL databases face direct exploitation risk from this source.
Site operators should immediately block IP 81.70.2.239 at the network perimeter and implement defensive controls such as fail2ban or similar rate-limiting tools to mitigate automated exploitation attempts. Redis instances should enforce strong authentication, bind to localhost only, and restrict network exposure through firewall rules. Continuous traffic monitoring for connections originating from this IP range is recommended, and organizations discovering successful compromises should consider notifying Tencent's abuse department regarding AS45090. Maintaining current patches, employing intrusion detection systems, and following least-privilege access principles provide layered defense against similar compromised hosts in the threat landscape.
