First seen on 2026-09-23T14:06:14Z, most recently active on 2026-09-29T08:30:14Z.

Recorded 201 attack-shaped requests across 4 separate days.

Its traffic requested a .env file, hoping to find API keys or database credentials; it also used a directory-traversal segment (literal or percent-encoded ../) in the request path to try to escape the web root; it also requested a common cloud/app secrets or credentials filename (AWS, GCP, Firebase, Kubernetes service-account token, SSH, master key) from a wordlist, hoping one was left in the webroot.

Seen from 2 of our sensors: edge, nl4-web.

Scored into the "Persistent" level, carrying the badges Regular, Toolkit.

Routed via AS396982 (Google LLC), an ASN we classify as cloud.

Blocked on every one of our hosts and at our edge since 2026-10-04T15:29:58Z, through 2027-01-02T15:29:58Z.
