# INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING: 159.89.193.174/32
## Executive Summary
IP address 159.89.193.174 is a DigitalOcean cloud infrastructure host located in Singapore with an overall risk score of 25 (Low Risk). The IP exhibits minimal service exposure with no open ports detected and no active threat indicators. However, historical data indicates prior listing activity on threat feeds, and the /24 subnet contains one identified threat sibling requiring monitoring.
## Network Ownership & Classification
- ASN: 14061 (DigitalOcean, LLC)
- Organization: DigitalOcean, LLC
- Infrastructure Type: CloudCompute (Cloud-hosted)
- Geolocation: Singapore (1.35, 103.82)
- Network Role: Firewalled / No Services detected
- BGP Prefix: 159.89.192.0/20 (route stability: false)
## Threat Assessment
The IP maintains a low-risk profile with the following characteristics:
- Risk Score: 25
- Abuse Confidence: Not elevated
- Known Attacker: False
- Spam Source: False
- Tor Exit Node: False
- Blacklist Status: Not currently listed on major threat feeds
Historical observations (17 total) indicate the IP was previously detected on 8 threat listings with maximum severity rated as high in one instance. This suggests past malicious activity or association with compromised infrastructure, though current telemetry shows no active threat indicators.
## Neighborhood Analysis
Subnet: 159.89.193.0/24
- Abuse Density: 0.5
- Classification: Mostly Clean
- Total Siblings: 2
- Active Siblings: 2
- Threat Siblings: 1
The subnet contains one adjacent IP address (159.89.193.35) with a risk score of 30 and authority score of 50. This neighbor represents elevated risk relative to the target IP and warrants monitoring.
## Network Relationships
The IP is associated with 22 network-level relationships, all mapping to the DigitalOcean network block DIGITALOCEAN-159-89-0-0. No hostname, certificate, or organizational relationships beyond the network classification were identified.
## Service & DNS Analysis
- Open Ports: None detected
- DNS Resolution: No PTR records, no forward resolution
- Hosted Domains: None
- TLS Certificates: None
- HTTP Services: None
The absence of open services and DNS activity indicates the IP is either inactive, heavily firewalled, or configured as a headless infrastructure resource.
## Security Recommendations
Based on the current low-risk profile (score 25), no immediate firewall rules or blocking actions are recommended. However, the following conditions warrant monitoring:
1. Subnet Surveillance: Monitor 159.89.193.0/24 for additional threat siblings, particularly 159.89.193.35 (risk score 30)
2. Threat Feed Watch: Track the IP against the 8 historical listings that previously flagged this address
3. Cloud Infrastructure Context: As a DigitalOcean cloud host, validate that no unexpected services have appeared
## Conclusion
IP 159.89.193.174 represents low-risk cloud infrastructure with historical threat associations but no current active indicators. The subnet environment contains one elevated-risk neighbor requiring continued observation. No immediate defensive action is required; maintain passive monitoring for service emergence or threat feed updates.
