# AWS WAF
{"Addresses":["51.195.183.250/32"],"Description":"IPDebrief risk 40"}
```
Assessment: While the IP shows moderate risk and is associated with a high-abuse subnet, it currently has no active threat indicators. Blocking is recommended as a precautionary measure given the subnet abuse density and lack of email authentication records.
