The primary threat vector centered around SSH credential stuffing from APAC subnets alongside automated MSSQL dictionary sweeps..
Top Identified Threat Actors
47.112.237.28— High-frequency dictionary attack engine targeting core SSH and database authentication sockets.118.70.146.82— Persistent credential spray probing RDP (3389/tcp) and MySQL (3306/tcp).77.90.185.30— Automated vulnerability scanning crawler inspecting CMS endpoints and exposed configuration files.
Protocol Breakdown & Attack Vector Analysis
- SSH & Remote Terminal (
22/tcp,23/tcp): Recorded 684 connection attempts with 312 credential brute-force payloads. Top attempted usernames includedroot,admin,ubuntu, andservice. - Database & Data Layer (
3306/tcp,1433/tcp,6379/tcp): Sustained unauthenticated discovery commands targeting exposed relational and key-value datastores. - Web Application Fuzzing (Galah LLM Honeypot): Captured 112 HTTP requests probing for sensitive administrative routes,
.envleakage, and arbitrary remote code execution paths.
Automated Defensive Actions
- Community Threat Sharing: Dispatched 128 automated abuse reports to AbuseIPDB, Blocklist.de, SANS DShield, and AlienVault OTX.
- Dynamic Firewall Mitigation: Real-time synchronization pushed active IP blocks across all perimeter nodes via CrowdSec multi-node decision mesh.
