Intelligence Briefing: IP 23.221.236.78
The subject IP was registered to Akamai Technologies, Inc. (ASN 20940) and operated as a Content Delivery Network (CDN) node on standard HTTP and HTTPS ports. A Low Risk reputation score of 25 was recorded, with no active malicious campaigns or known attacker indicators detected.
Technical analysis revealed valid RPKI state but noted a listing on one DNSBL. While geolocation data placed the server in Boston, Massachusetts, physical measurements indicated a contradiction between the claimed location and observed RTT latency. The surrounding subnet classification remained mostly clean, though ten threat siblings were observed.
The address was classified for monitoring due to signal contradictions regarding geolocation and RTT physics, maintaining a low severity rating. No immediate firewall rules were applied.
