Recommendations
Actions taken & recommended
- IP 45.133.7.123 is blocked at application level (HTTP 403)
- Consider blocking at firewall level (iptables/CSF) to reduce server load
- Other malicious IPs detected in the same /24 subnet — consider blocking 45.133.7.0/24
- Report abuse to the network provider via their abuse contact
- Ensure sensitive files (.env, .git, backups) are not accessible from the web

The following attack categories were identified:
📊 Threat Analysis
Our monitoring infrastructure has identified 45.133.7.123, geolocated to Auckland, NZ, operating on the network of VPN, as a source of suspicious network activity. Our sensors captured 310 malicious requests from this address across a 18-day span, reflecting a sustained attack cadence of ~17.2 requests per day. This IP is identified as a VPN or proxy endpoint, commonly used to mask the true origin of attack traffic and bypass geographic or reputation-based blocking. The dual attack vectors of Request Flooding combined with User-Agent Anomaly indicate a coordinated assault rather than opportunistic scanning. NZ currently accounts for 64 blocked IPs in our database, making it a notable source of malicious traffic. With a threat score of 255/100, this IP is among the most dangerous addresses in our database. Immediate and complete blocking is strongly recommended.
This IP is associated with a VPN or proxy service. Attackers frequently route their traffic through anonymizing services to obscure their true location. This makes attribution more challenging but the malicious behavior patterns remain detectable.

Security Intelligence
💡 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.
💡 Multi-Factor Authentication Importance
MFA dramatically reduces the effectiveness of credential-based attacks. Even when passwords are compromised through phishing or data breaches, the additional authentication factor prevents unauthorized access in the vast majority of cases.
