| Cloudflare WAF | Block IP with description: "IPDebrief risk score 40" |
| AWS WAF | Address: 45.148.10.235/32 |
SOC Analyst Notes
1. Subnet Context: Block or monitor entire /24 subnet due to 8 threat siblings and elevated abuse density
2. Geolocation Discrepancy: Investigate conflicting RO/NL reports for potential spoofing or misconfiguration
3. No Active Services: IP appears to be dormant infrastructure; consider if blocking aligns with business requirements
4. Risk Score 40: Moderate threshold—recommend blocking for sensitive environments, monitoring for less critical
