IP Intelligence Briefing: 198.244.226.13
*Generated via IPDebrief Analysis*
Key Risk Profile
- Risk Score: 40 (Moderate Risk)
- Provider: OVH (CloudCompute Hosting)
- Ownership: Ahrefs Pte Ltd (legitimate entity)
- Geolocation: London, England (GB)
- Network Classification: High abuse subnet (198.244.226.0/24)
Threat Indicators
- No direct malicious indicators (no blacklists, campaigns, or open ports).
- Subnet abuse density: 50.39% (high_abuse classification).
- 129/135 active neighbors in subnet show threat risk, suggesting potential lateral movement or shared infrastructure risks.
Network Relationships
- Linked to OVH network OVH_282347338 (cloud infrastructure).
- No Tor, VPN, or proxy associations.
Observation History
- Single observation (last 30 days) showing stable infrastructure but inherited risk from subnet.
- No persistent malicious activity or campaign correlations.
Actionable Insights
1. Subnet Risk Mitigation: Monitor neighbors with high risk scores (e.g., 50+). Consider blocking or isolating high-risk IPs in the 198.244.226.0/24 subnet.
2. Cloud Infrastructure Context: Given OVH hosting, ensure cloud security policies are enforced (e.g., firewall rules, access controls).
3. Geolocation Verification: Confirm London-based activity aligns with Ahrefs’ legitimate operations. Investigate anomalies in subnet abuse density.
4. No Immediate Threat: No direct malicious signals, but subnet-level risks warrant closer scrutiny.
Recommendations
- Add 198.244.226.0/24 to threat intelligence feeds for subnet-level monitoring.
- Review OVH’s security practices for shared infrastructure risks.
- Validate DNS/HTTP services (no open ports detected) to ensure no hidden malicious activity.
