Analyst Notes
This IP address represents normal cloud infrastructure activity for Google Cloud services. The single DNSBL listing appears to be a legacy or takedown-related indicator rather than active malicious behavior. The route instability and 21 timed-out traceroute hops are consistent with cloud provider routing practices. SOC teams may monitor for any changes in DNSBL presence or service behavior but no immediate action is warranted.
