Observation History
Thirteen observations recorded since 2026-07-30. The most recent signals confirm:
- DNSSEC validation: Valid
- DNSBL listings: 3/8 total (max severity: high)
- Operator score: 0.1304 (Minimal)
- Network classification: Consistent
Neighborhood Analysis
The /24 subnet (109.70.65.0/24) contains one additional neighbor: 109.70.65.92 with a risk score of 40 and authority score of 50. Subnet abuse density is 0. Overall classification remains moderate risk with no high-risk siblings detected.
Recommended Actions
- Monitor: Continue monitoring for changes in DNSBL status and service emergence
- Block Decision: Consider blocking at perimeter if traffic is not expected; DNSBL presence indicates prior reputation issues
- Investigate: Review connection logs for any anomalous traffic patterns from this IP
- Network Context: The /24 subnet contains one medium-risk neighbor (109.70.65.92); monitor both IPs for coordinated activity
Summary: This is a firewalled, residential-like IP with no active services but a history of DNSBL listings. The moderate risk score reflects DNSBL presence rather than active malicious behavior. SOC teams should monitor for service emergence or behavioral changes while evaluating blocking based on business traffic policies.
