- No evidence of persistent malicious activity
- Ownership stability: No changes detected
## Recommended Actions
1. Monitor the /24 subnet (177.184.239.0/24) for correlated activity given the 0.3333 abuse density
2. Block 177.184.239.24 if not already filtered (Score: 25 indicates suspicious activity)
