IP Address Abuse: What To Do When You Are A Victim?
As per the reports of many research groups, cyberattacks reached their peak in the year 2021. It is not uncommon for large businesses to face numerous hacking attempts in the same week. How can businesses tackle these attacks? Read along if you wish to know more about IP address abuse and what can be done if you have become a victim of IP address abuse.
IP Address Abuse
The term IP abuse refers to the attack of an internet-connected device by another device with an IP address. It is an umbrella term that is used to describe cybercrime and includes different types of DDoS attacks, phishing attacks, hack attacks, malware attacks, and spam. If you are running a large business, you will probably know what it is like to be attacked many times in a week. Ip address attacks aim to hurt the profit of a business, steal important data, and many more.
What can be done when one falls victim to IP address abuse? The three most relevant measures to take are outlined below.
• First off, remember to check your logs. Everything you wish to know will be present in your network logs. From the logs, you can find the IP address that you think is causing all the issues.
• Make use of an IP lookup tool to collect all the available details about the specific IP address that was used to attack you. In most cases, an IP address can have an email address linked to it. Hurriedly track down the email address.
• Report the IP address attack to the email address. Make sure to provide all the details and keep track of the damage precisely.
You need to keep in mind that the person who attacked you may have disguised or faked their IP address. In such a scenario, the owner of the email address that you have found can be innocent. The person can be a victim and may not know that their IP address is being used by fraudsters to hurt other people.
If everything goes well, the owner of the IPv4 addresses will thank you for alerting them about the misuse of their IP address. They can check their logs and find the real culprit behind the IP address abuse. Once they confirm the details of the culprit, feel free to take the appropriate course of action.
