High-confidence detection of sustained multi-protocol attack activity from IP 45.205.1.8 (AS215925 Cloud Innovation Ltd, Brazil) targeting multiple services including ADB, HTTP, SMB, and Telnet over a 40-day period from March 9 to April 18, 2026. The threat actor conducted 3,029 attack events including credential harvesting, remote code execution attempts, and Android Debug Bridge exploitation. Immediate blocking and investigation of affected systems is recommended.
New findings
The attacker leveraged multiple protocols (ADB, HTTP, TCP, TELNET, TLS, MQTT) to conduct a broad-spectrum attack campaign mapped to MITRE technique T1071.001 (Application Layer Protocol). Primary attack vectors included Android Debug Bridge exploitation (168 events), credential capture attempts (287 events), and multiple exploit attempts targeting known vulnerabilities. The threat actor operated from open ports 22 and 8082, demonstrating command and control capabilities consistent with compromised infrastructure. Key indicators include basic authentication bypass attempts, shell command injection via Telnet (port 23), and HTTP-based reconnaissance against port 8080. Attack volume peaked with exploit attempts generating 324 high-severity events, indicating automated tooling deployment.
Recommendations
- Block IP 45.205.1.8 and monitor AS215925 (Cloud Innovation Ltd) for additional malicious activity
- Audit all systems with ADB enabled (port 5555) and disable unnecessary Android Debug Bridge services
- Review authentication logs for basic auth bypass attempts and implement multi-factor authentication where feasible
- Scan internal networks for compromised devices that may have established C2 communication during the March-April timeframe
- Enhance monitoring for multi-protocol attack patterns combining ADB, MQTT, and SMB reconnaissance activities

Brazilian-hosted attacker (45.205.1.8) conducted a sustained 4-week campaign targeting multiple services with credential theft, remote code execution attempts, and reconnaissance activities across 2,974 events. Assessment: MEDIUM threat severity with high confidence based on diverse attack vectors including critical RCE attempts and systematic credential harvesting. Immediate action required to block source IP and review authentication logs for compromise indicators.
New findings
Source: 45.205.1.8 (AS215925 Cloud Innovation Ltd, Brazil) with maximum AbuseIPDB reputation score (100/100)
Campaign Duration: March 9, 2026 07:00 - April 5, 2026 15:00 (4-week sustained activity)
Attack Vectors: HTTP/HTTPS credential capture (287 attempts), critical RCE exploitation via TCP/Telnet (21 attempts), SMB reconnaissance and exploitation probes (14 attempts)
MITRE Techniques: T1087.004 (Account Discovery: Cloud Account), Reconnaissance kill chain phase
Protocols Observed: Multi-protocol approach spanning HTTP/HTTPS, Telnet, SMB, and MQTT services
Key Indicators: Basic authentication brute force patterns, bash command injection attempts, SMB enumeration payloads, and geospatial service targeting
Recommendations
- Block 45.205.1.8 at perimeter firewalls and update threat intelligence feeds with this IOC
- Review authentication logs for successful logins from this source IP, particularly basic auth and SSH services
- Implement rate limiting on authentication endpoints and consider disabling basic authentication where possible
- Audit SMB service exposure and disable unnecessary file sharing protocols on internet-facing systems

UPDATE 12026-03-24T06:26:52Z
Source: Analyst Manual Entry
Threat actor operating from Brazilian cloud infrastructure (45.205.1.8) conducted sustained credential theft operations over a 14-day period targeting administrative interfaces on port 8080. Assessment indicates MEDIUM threat level with 75% confidence, representing reconnaissance activity that may precede more sophisticated attacks. Network defenders should immediately audit administrative interface exposure and implement enhanced authentication controls.
New findings
Attack Profile: 484 events observed between 2026-03-09 07:00 and 2026-03-23 09:00 targeting 3 unique destination ports. Primary attack vector utilized HTTP/HTTPS protocols with TLS 1.0 handshakes to probe administrative endpoints.
MITRE Mapping: T1190 (Exploit Public-Facing Application) during reconnaissance phase of kill chain. Attacker demonstrated focus on credential theft through basic authentication bypass attempts.
Infrastructure: Source IP 45.205.1.8 (AS215925 Cloud Innovation Ltd, Brazil) with maximum AbuseIPDB reputation score (100/100). Linux-based system with SSH service exposed on port 22.
IOCs: Basic authentication header "Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46" indicating default/weak credential testing against diagnostic PHP endpoints.
Recommendations
- Immediately audit all administrative interfaces accessible on non-standard ports (especially 8080) and restrict access to authorized networks only
- Implement multi-factor authentication on all administrative endpoints and disable basic authentication where possible
- Block traffic from AS215925 (Cloud Innovation Ltd) and monitor for similar reconnaissance patterns from Brazilian cloud providers
- Deploy additional monitoring for HTTP authorization headers containing common default credentials (admin/admin, admin/blank)
- Review and harden TLS configurations to disable legacy protocols (TLS 1.0) on administrative interfaces
