## ANALYST NOTES
This IP belongs to AWS cloud infrastructure. The moderate risk score (65/100) appears to stem from DNSBL listings rather than active threat activity. Given this is a cloud infrastructure endpoint, false positives are possible. Recommended approach:
1. Monitor incoming traffic patterns from this IP
2. Correlate with known legitimate AWS traffic patterns
3. Consider context-dependent blocking rather than blanket denial
4. Verify whether the IP is part of legitimate cloud infrastructure or compromised
