Abuse-Tolerant HostingTamatiya EOOD / 4vendeta.com (AS50360 + AS209160)
Tamatiya EOOD (registered Sopot, Bulgaria; reportedly Russian-operated) runs AS50360 under the 4vendeta.com and VenomDC brands across 26 confirmed CIDR blocks (~6,000 IPs). A satellite ASN, AS209160 (Miti 2000 EOOD / Rack-web, nominally Seychelles-registered), is maintained by Tamatiya's own TAMATYA-MNT maintainer object — treat both as one operator. Neighboring IPs accumulate tens of thousands of AbuseIPDB reports: one IP carries 36,949 reports at 100% confidence. The consistent PTR scheme (ip-[octet3]-[octet4].4vendeta.com) confirms static VPS allocations used for port scanning, SMTP dictionary attacks with subnet-hopping on block, service probing, and honeypot-tripping reconnaissance.
Attack Analysis
Port 22 Honeypot Probe
This IP connected to a fake SSH honeypot — a port 22 listener that is not a real SSH server. This is an automated scanner fingerprinting targets before launching a brute-force campaign. Legitimate systems never probe port 22 without a specific reason; this activity is virtually 100% malicious.
Suricata IDS Alert
Suricata intrusion detection flagged this IP for malicious network behaviour — including port scanning, exploit attempts, botnet activity, or known attack signatures. The specific signature is shown in the report list below.
