• High Risk: 1 IP (176.103.3.3, score: 80)
• Medium Risk: 36 IPs (scores: 40-55)
• Low Risk: 12 IPs
• Subnet Abuse Density: 2% (0.02)

The presence of one high-risk neighbor warrants attention when monitoring traffic patterns or investigating lateral movement within the subnet.

## Historical Context

Twelve observations recorded. Recent activity (2026-07-23) indicates:

• ASN resolution occasionally returns null
• Geographic signals show inconsistency between GB and UA
• DNSSEC validation confirmed (true)
• Two DNSBL listings observed with high-severity classifications

## Recommended Actions

Based on the moderate risk profile and subnet abuse density:

1. Monitor: Maintain passive monitoring on 176.103.3.0/24, particularly 176.103.3.3

2. Block: Consider blocking 176.103.3.3 at perimeter if traffic patterns indicate exploitation

3. Observe: Monitor 176.103.3.249 for service opening or DNS changes

4. Review: Investigate geographic inconsistencies if traffic claims UK origin but exhibits Ukrainian characteristics

## Conclusion

IP 176.103.3.249 represents a low-to-moderate risk infrastructure endpoint with no current active threats. The subnet contains one high-risk neighbor warranting continued surveillance. No immediate blocking is recommended, but maintain awareness of subnet-wide activity patterns.
