A cloud storage provider’s client has triggered a security measure after exceeding the allowed number of requests within a short timeframe. The system, which is designed to prevent brute-force attacks and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attempts, has identified an IP address associated with this suspicious activity.
The specific details surrounding the incident are not immediately clear. However, it’s understood that a high-volume request from the IP address in question (37.27.54.14) triggered the security measure, resulting in access being blocked for the client.
It is unclear at this time whether this was a result of legitimate or malicious activity. The cloud storage provider has not yet released an official statement regarding the cause of the incident.
