IP Intelligence Briefing: 142.44.225.253
*Generated from IPDebrief analysis*
---
**Key Threat Indicators**
- Risk Profile: Moderate risk (score: 40) with no active malware indicators, spam, or known attacker associations.
- Network Role: Cloud compute instance (OVH infrastructure), hosted by Ahrefs Pte Ltd.
- Geolocation: Registered to Canada (QC region), but DNS resolves to Singapore. Potential geolocation inconsistency.
- DNS Associations: Linked to `proxy-ca017-san253.ahrefs.net` (no malicious domain flags).
---
**Network & Subnet Context**
- Subnet: `142.44.225.253/24` (OVH-managed CIDR: `142.44.128.0/17`).
- Subnet Abuse Density: 53.94% (classified as "high_abuse").
- Neighbor Risk: 100 IPs in subnet; 96 medium-risk, 4 low-risk. Notable high-risk neighbors detected.
- Routing: Stable BGP route (OVH ASN 16276), no recent route changes.
---
**Observation History**
- Recent Scans: Detected TLS/HTTP scans (no open ports), but no active threats or vulnerabilities.
- Threat Persistence: No persistent malicious activity observed.
- DNS Activity: Single PTR record (`proxy-ca017-san253.ahrefs.net`) with no email authentication (SPF/DKIM).
---
**Actionable Insights**
1. Monitor Subnet: High abuse density in the subnet suggests potential for lateral movement or compromised neighbors.
2. Verify Geolocation: Discrepancy between registered country (Canada) and DNS resolution (Singapore) warrants further investigation.
3. DNS Monitoring: Track `proxy-ca017-san253.ahrefs.net` for unexpected traffic patterns or domain changes.
4. Network Segmentation: Consider isolating this cloud instance if it handles sensitive data.
---
Recommended Actions:
- Block high-risk subnet neighbors using IPDebrief's firewall rules.
- Validate DNS associations with Ahrefs Pte Ltd to confirm legitimacy.
- Continuously monitor for anomalous traffic patterns in the `142.44.128.0/17` CIDR.
