It indicates that a domain has a small number of currently active IP addresses that are distributed across multiple countries, which is uncommon for legitimate small-scale infrastructure and may suggest evasive or transient hosting behavior.
Three questions every analyst asks before acting on this signal.
It indicates that a domain has a small number of currently active IP addresses that are distributed across multiple countries, which is uncommon for legitimate small-scale infrastructure and may suggest evasive or transient hosting behavior.
The label is set when the current IP set spans multiple countries while the total number of active IPs remains low, based solely on current IP observations.
This is a contextual malicious signal. While not definitive on its own, it strengthens suspicion when combined with other indicators such as blacklist hits, infrastructure churn, or ASN anomalies.
