The following attack categories were identified:
Our monitoring infrastructure has identified 3.145.103.109, geolocated to Dublin, United States, operating on the network of Amazon.com, Inc., as a source of suspicious network activity. The address has been active for 1 days in our monitoring system, producing 4 flagged requests at a rate of ~4/day. The IP is classified as hosting/datacenter infrastructure, commonly associated with rented servers used for automated attack campaigns, botnet command-and-control, or vulnerability scanning at scale. The IP is engaged in request flooding, sending traffic at rates designed to exhaust server capacity. United States currently accounts for 42 blocked IPs in our database, making it a notable source of malicious traffic. A threat score of 70/100 places this IP in the high-risk category.

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. Hosting providers typically respond to abuse reports within 24-72 hours.
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.
VPN exit nodes aggregate traffic from many users, creating mixed reputation profiles. While legitimate users seek privacy, attackers exploit VPN services to anonymize malicious activity, making IP-based blocking of VPN nodes a complex policy decision.
