What it detects01

Why it matters02

The label is set when the current IP set spans multiple countries and the total number of active IPs exceeds a defined threshold, using only current IP data.

How analysts use it03

How should analysts interpret this label?

This is a safe-bias contextual label. Multi-country distribution at scale is common for legitimate global services and should reduce suspicion when no other risk signals are present.
