- Monitor for service changes (currently no open ports)
- Review DNSBL listing specifics if false positive concerns arise
Risk Mitigation:
- Subnet abuse density is 0; no inherited threat risk
- Two medium-risk siblings (14.191.42.13, 14.191.42.22) should be monitored
- Low-risk sibling (14.191.42.56) indicates subnet is not systematically compromised
