IP Intelligence Briefing: 198.244.242.71/32
*Generated via IPDebrief tools (profile, history, relationships, neighbors)*
---
**1. Core Profile**
- Risk Score: 25 (Low Risk)
- Ownership: Owned by Ahrefs Pte Ltd (ASN 16276, OVH provider).
- Geolocation: London, England, GB (inferred via DNS and network signals).
- Network Role: Cloud compute instance (OVH infrastructure, no residential/mobile flags).
- Threat Indicators: No direct malicious activity (no indicators, blacklists, or campaigns).
---
**2. Neighborhood Analysis**
- Subnet: 198.244.242.0/24
- Abuse Density: 43.75% (112/256 IPs flagged as threats).
- Active Siblings: 118 IPs (112 malicious, 6 benign).
- Risk Inheritance: 17/100 risk score from subnet.
- Action Required: Monitor subnet for lateral movement or compromised hosts.
---
**3. Historical Observations**
- Geolocation Consistency: Inferred as GB (London) with 750km accuracy radius.
- Stability: Subnet shows unstable routing (route changes last 30 days).
- Threat Trends: No persistent malicious activity (threat observation count = 0).
---
**4. Relationships & Dependencies**
- DNS Associations: Linked to `proxy-uk007-san71.ahrefs.net` (Ahrefs infrastructure).
- Network Connections: Same subnet as OVH network `OVH_282347343` (high abuse density).
- DNS Security: DNSSEC validated, CAA records present.
---
**5. Recommendations**
- Network Segmentation: Isolate the subnet (198.244.242.0/24) to limit lateral movement.
- Firewall Rules: Block subnet traffic unless explicitly required (e.g., via Cloudflare/WAF).
- Monitoring: Watch for DNS anomalies or unexpected traffic from the subnet.
- Cloud Security: Verify Ahrefs instance configurations (e.g., SSH access, sudo permissions).
---
Conclusion: While the IP itself is low risk, its subnet exhibits significant abuse. SOC teams should prioritize monitoring the subnet for potential compromise or malicious activity originating from neighboring IPs.
