📊 Threat Analysis
Threat intelligence analysis has linked 216.126.227.102 to malicious activity originating from Ogden, United States, operating on the network of RouterHosting LLC. The address has been under observation since its initial detection. Our sensors captured 3 malicious requests from this address across a 1-day span, reflecting a sustained attack cadence of ~3 requests per day. Classified as a hosting IP, this address likely runs on a rented server or cloud instance. Attackers prefer datacenter IPs for their high bandwidth and disposable nature. The dual attack vectors of Request Flooding combined with Path Enumeration indicate a coordinated assault rather than opportunistic scanning. With 33 flagged addresses, United States represents a notable presence in our threat database. At 195/100, this is an extremely high-risk address. All traffic should be considered hostile.
This IP belongs to a hosting or data center provider. Malicious traffic from hosting infrastructure often originates from compromised VPS instances, rented servers used for scanning campaigns, or abused free-tier cloud accounts.
