98.94.228.148
The IP address 98.94.228.148 was identified as a web server associated with Amazon Data Services Northern Virginia (AS14618) in Ashburn, Virginia. Operational analysis confirmed HTTPS traffic on port 443 utilizing a TLS certificate issued by DigiCert for the domain `samsungcloud.tv`.
Threat intelligence classified the host as low risk with a score of 25. However, the endpoint was flagged as a "Suspicious Host" and appeared on one of eight monitored DNS blacklists. A significant contradiction emerged between the primary geolocation data locating the server in the United States and the TLS certificate subject indicating South Korean origin.
Behavioral analysis recorded no active attacker indicators or specific campaign matches. Despite the low risk score, the conflicting signal regarding geographic origin and the presence on threat feeds resulted in a recommendation to monitor the endpoint for changes in behavior or configuration.
