## OWNERSHIP AND ATTRIBUTION
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| **ASN** | 18002 |
| **Organization** | IRT-WORLDPHONE-IN |
| **Netname** | WORLDPHONE-IN |
| **RIR** | APNIC |
| **CIDR Block** | 110.172.147.0/24 |

## GEOLOCATION DISCREPANCY
Geolocation signals presented conflicting data:
- Primary Signal: United States (Boston, MA, US-MA)
- Historical Signal: India (20.59°N, 78.96°E)
- Status: GeoConsensus: True (multiple sources)
- Validation: GeoPlausible: False
The geolocation data inconsistency warrants scrutiny. The IP may have been routed through multiple networks or exhibit characteristics of spoofing or misconfigured geolocation databases.

Classification: Clean
Active Siblings: 0
Threat Siblings: 0
The immediate /24 subnet showed no adjacent threat activity, indicating the risk is localized to this specific endpoint rather than representing broader network compromise.
---
## OBSERVATION HISTORY
Twelve signals were recorded during the observation period. Key observations included:
- ASN and RIR confirmation from APNIC registry
- DNSSEC validation confirmed
- Multiple blacklist detections with high severity ratings
- Geolocation signals showing both US and Indian coordinates
The temporal data indicates the IP has been persistently monitored with consistent risk scoring.

## RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
Based on the 80/100 risk score and blacklist presence, the following defensive measures are recommended:
Immediate Actions
1. Block Traffic: Implement firewall rules to drop all traffic from 110.172.147.190
2. Increase Logging: Enable enhanced logging verbosity for any attempted connections
3. Monitor for Recurrence: Track whether additional IPs from the 110.172.147.0/24 subnet exhibit similar behavior
Technical Implementation
iptables:
```bash
iptables -A INPUT -s 110.172.147.190 -j DROP
```
nftables:
```bash
nft add rule inet filter input ip saddr 110.172.147.190 drop
```
nginx:
```nginx
deny 110.172.147.190;
```
AWS WAF:
```json

## ANALYST NOTES
The IP address presents a moderate-to-high risk profile characterized by blacklist presence and geolocation inconsistency. While the endpoint itself shows no active service exploitation, the blacklist associations suggest prior compromise or malicious association. The lack of adjacent subnet activity suggests this is an isolated threat vector. Continuous monitoring is recommended to detect any changes in behavior or the emergence of related malicious infrastructure.
