Date: 2026-06-08
---
**1. Core Profile**
- Risk Score: 25 (Low Risk)
- Ownership: Owned by Dmytro, Ahrefs Pte Ltd (OVH ASN 16276).
- Geolocation: Registered to Singapore (CA), but geo-validation flags inconsistencies (RTT 29ms vs. expected 121.6ms for 6082km distance).
- Network Role: CloudCompute infrastructure (OVH-hosted, no public services).
- Threat Indicators: No malicious activity detected (no DNS abuse, spam, or known attacker associations).
---
**2. Network Context**
- Subnet: 15.235.27.0/24 (OVH-CUST-281059692).
- Neighbor Analysis:
- Abuse Density: 41.94% (moderate risk).
- Active Siblings: 107 IPs (104 flagged as threats).
- High-Risk Neighbors: 40 IPs (medium/high risk scores).
- Subnet Classification: "Mixed" (combination of legitimate and risky IPs).
---
**3. Observational History**
- First Observed: 2026-05-31.
- Key Signals:
- Geo Anomalies: Persistent RTT inconsistencies (likely spoofed location).
- Network Stability: Unstable routing (route changes detected).
- Threat Signals: No malicious campaigns or DNS abuse detected.
---
**4. Relationships**
- Linked Entities:
- Subnet: 15.235.27.0/24 (OVH).
- Hostname: `proxy-ca013-san177.ahrefs.net` (Ahrefs Pte Ltd).
- DNS: No email authentication (SPF/DKIM missing).
- No Direct Threat Associations: No known malicious campaigns, blacklists, or C2 domains.
---
**5. Recommendations**
- Monitor: Track geo-validation anomalies and subnet abuse density.
- Block/Restrict: Consider blocking high-risk neighbors (40 IPs) in the 15.235.27.0/24 subnet.
- Verify: Confirm ownership legitimacy via OVH/ARIN records.
- Investigate: Validate DNS anomalies (e.g., spoofed geolocation) with passive DNS tools.
---
Conclusion:
The IP is associated with a legitimate cloud provider (OVH/Ahrefs) but exhibits geo-validation inconsistencies and resides in a subnet with moderate abuse density. While no direct threats are detected, the network environment warrants closer monitoring for potential spoofing or associated malicious activity.
