Abused IP ResellerCloud Innovation Ltd
Cloud Innovation Ltd is a Swedish IP-block reseller that delegates address space to downstream customers globally. Its netblocks have been independently flagged by both CINS Army (active threat intelligence) and DShield (SANS honeypot network), indicating sustained port-scanning and SSH brute-force activity. Abuse complaints appear to go effectively unaddressed, with customers operating dedicated scanning infrastructure.

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.
IDS: Threat Intel — CINS Active Threat
This IP appears in the CINS (Collective Intelligence Network Security) Active Threat Intelligence feed — a real-time blocklist of IPs with poor reputation scores derived from observed malicious activity. CINS-listed IPs are actively engaged in attacks at the time of detection.
