📊 Threat Analysis
207.102.138.19 is registered in Vancouver, Canada, operating on the network of TELUS Communications Inc. This IP first appeared in our threat feeds after triggering multiple behavioral detection signatures. Our sensors captured 145 malicious requests from this address across a 1-day span, reflecting a sustained attack cadence of ~145 requests per day. The address is classified as residential, meaning it likely belongs to an end-user ISP connection. Malicious activity from residential IPs typically indicates device compromise or botnet membership. The dual attack vectors of Request Flooding combined with User-Agent Anomaly indicate a coordinated assault rather than opportunistic scanning. Our records show 101 malicious IPs originating from Canada, positioning it as a significant contributor to global threat activity. A threat score of 70/100 places this IP in the high-risk category. Blocking at the firewall level is recommended.
This IP is classified as residential, suggesting it may belong to a compromised home device, IoT botnet member, or an infected personal computer. Residential IPs involved in attacks often indicate malware infection without the owner's knowledge.

💡 DDoS Mitigation Approaches
Distributed denial of service attacks overwhelm infrastructure with traffic volume. Effective mitigation combines always-on traffic scrubbing, anycast network distribution, rate limiting, and the ability to quickly scale absorption capacity during attacks.
💡 Mobile Network Threat Landscape
Mobile carrier NAT (CGNAT) means thousands of users share a single public IP, making mobile IPs unreliable for reputation scoring. However, mobile networks are increasingly used as attack platforms through compromised apps and malicious SDKs.
