IP INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING
Target: 142.44.233.12/32
Date: 2026-06-28
Classification: Low Risk (Contextual: High-Abuse Neighborhood)
---
OWNERSHIP & INFRASTRUCTURE
The IP address is allocated to OVH (ASN 16276), registered to "Dmytro, Ahrefs Pte Ltd" under CIDR block 142.44.233.0/24. Infrastructure classification identifies the host as cloud computing with hosting provider characteristics. DNS PTR resolution maps to proxy-ca003-san12.ahrefs.net with domain ahrefs.net, indicating legitimate association with Ahrefs SEO infrastructure.
RISK PROFILE
Current risk score: 35 (Low Risk). However, contextual assessment requires elevation due to subnet-level abuse characteristics. The IP is listed on 2 of 8 DNSBLs. No active threat indicators detected in primary profile. Network role indicates firewalled status with no open services.
THREAT CONTEXT
Critical neighborhood data reveals elevated abuse density (0.7695) within 142.44.233.0/24 subnet. Analysis of 256 sibling IPs shows 210 active, with 197 threat-sibling IPs. This high-abuse classification suggests potential infrastructure sharing or collateral targeting within the cloud hosting environment.
OBSERVATION HISTORY
Signal history contains 29 observations with recent activity on 2026-06-28 showing high-severity blacklist listing activity. Multiple geolocation signals consistently identify country CA with professional operator score of 0.7826. Network classification has remained stable as OVH hosting infrastructure.
RELATIONSHIP MAPPING
Forty relationships identified, primarily same-network associations with OVH-CUST-281059682. No cross-organization or campaign-level correlations detected.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Maintain monitoring status due to high-abuse subnet context despite low individual IP risk score
2. Review recent blacklist activity for potential false positives or coordinated abuse
3. Evaluate blocking decisions based on neighborhood threat density rather than IP-level risk alone
4. Monitor for any service openings or reputation degradation
ASSESSMENT
The IP address appears to be legitimate Ahrefs infrastructure but operates within a high-abuse cloud hosting subnet. Defensive posture should balance the verified ownership against elevated neighborhood risk factors.
