action: block

```

Operational Context

• IP resolves to legitimate Ahrefs proxy infrastructure
• No active service exposure (ports closed)
• Moderate risk score warrants monitoring over immediate blocking
• High-abuse subnet environment suggests potential for adjacent IP compromise

Mitigation Priority

Monitor — Block if:

• Outbound traffic from internal assets to this IP
• Inbound connections to critical services
• Evidence of exploitation attempts observed
