## Assessment Notes

The IP belongs to Hetzner's cloud infrastructure (CLOUD-NBG1), which is a legitimate hosting provider.

The moderate risk score (50) reflects the DNSBL presence without active threat indicators. SOC analysts should monitor for behavioral changes but no immediate blocking required unless additional context indicates malicious activity.
