IP Intelligence Briefing: 198.244.183.199
Risk Assessment: Moderate Risk (Risk Score: 40) | Subnet Abuse Density: High (0.5078)
Key Findings:
1. Ownership & Geolocation:
- Owned by Ahrefs Pte Ltd Dmytro (OVH ASN 16276).
- Geolocated to London, England, UK.
2. Network Role:
- Cloud Compute Hosting (OVH infrastructure).
- No open ports or services detected.
3. Threat Indicators:
- No direct malicious activity (no indicators, blacklists, or campaigns).
- Subnet 198.244.183.0/24 shows high abuse density (50.78% risk), with 130 threat siblings.
4. DNS & Relationships:
- Linked to proxy-uk004-san199.ahrefs.net (DNS hostname).
- Same-network peers include OVH infrastructure (OVH_282347340).
5. Observation History:
- Recent activity (2026-05-31) shows stable ownership but no persistent threats.
- Subnet abuse density has remained consistent over time.
Recommended Actions:
- Monitor the 198.244.183.0/24 subnet for unusual traffic patterns.
- Investigate the proxy-uk004-san199.ahrefs.net hostname for potential misconfigurations or lateral movement.
- Check if the subnetβs high abuse density correlates with recent compromises.
- Ensure cloud hosting configurations (OVH) are secured against misused shared infrastructure.
Conclusion:
The IP is associated with a legitimate cloud-hosted service but resides in a subnet with elevated risk. While no direct threats are detected, the subnetβs abuse density warrants closer monitoring. SOC teams should prioritize subnet-level analysis and validate DNS/host relationships.
