Silent Push IOFA™ Feed Detects Aeza Group Infrastructure Shift Following OFAC Sanctions

On July 1, 2025, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated Aeza Group, two affiliated companies, and four individuals for providing bulletproof hosting services that enabled global cybercriminal activity — including ransomware operations, data theft, and darknet drug trafficking.

Bulletproof hosting (BPH) refers to resilient server infrastructure used by threat actors to operate outside the reach of law enforcement. In response to the sanctions, the U.S. government froze Aeza Group’s U.S.-based assets and prohibited U.S. persons from engaging in transactions with them.

Silent Push Detects ASN Migration in Real Time

Silent Push Threat Analysts identified Aeza Group (AS216246 and AS210644) as a bulletproof hosting provider in early 2025. On July 20, 2025, Silent Push’s IOFA (Indicators of Future Attack)™ feed automatically detected a significant infrastructure shift: IP ranges from Aeza’s AS210644 began migrating to AS211522, a new autonomous system operated by Hypercore LTD.

This shift suggests an attempt to evade sanctions enforcement and continue malicious operations under new infrastructure.

One such example is IP address 83.147.192[.]5, which was previously associated with AS210644. On July 20, this IP was automatically reclassified in the Bulletproof Hosting IOFA™ feed to reflect its new association with AS211522.

BGP data from bgp.tools confirms that the 83.147.192.0/24 subnet has been announced by both ASNs, supporting the attribution.

According to Silent Push data, ASN 211522 was allocated on July 10, 2025, as confirmed by a search within the Total View platform. The data also shows that the ASN already contains over 2,100 IP addresses, indicating an unusually rapid ramp-up for a newly allocated ASN — a pattern not typically observed.

Silent Push Threat Analysts will continue to investigate ASN 211522 and welcome any leads related to suspicious bulletproof hosting infrastructure or additional context surrounding the Aeza Group IP migration.

Tracking Infrastructure Before It’s Weaponized

Through continuous infrastructure monitoring, Silent Push is able to detect and track emerging BPH providers before they’re widely used in active campaigns. The migration to AS211522 is likely either a rebrand by Aeza or a handoff to a closely aligned cybercriminal entity.

Silent Push IOFA™ feeds are designed to identify attacker infrastructure — before it’s operationalized. From bulletproof hosting to phishing domains, malware C2s, and more, Silent Push provides security teams with early, actionable visibility into the infrastructure behind tomorrow’s threats.

Webinar – Mapping the Dark: Exposing the Depths of Bulletproof Hosting Providers 

Not all hosting providers play by the rules — some actively protect the worst cybercriminals. Access our on-demand webinar to get new insights from our latest report, exposing the hidden hosts behind today’s most persistent cyber threats.

Bulletproof Hosting (BPH) providers offer IP infrastructure that ignores abuse complaints, enabling some of the web’s most dangerous malicious traffic. While the community broadly agrees on what makes a host “Bulletproof,” identifying specific ASN ranges or providers requires deep expertise and nuance. This session will equip you with the knowledge to identify and combat these shadowy enablers.

Safe Mode Podcast: Ken Bagnall on how companies can work with governments to take down malicious infrastructure

In this episode of CyberScoop’s podcast, our CEO Ken Bagnall joins Greg Otto to explore the evolving cybercrime ecosystem. Ken discusses how much of today’s infrastructure is run by affiliate networks leveraging existing technologies — and how this model is shaping threats globally.

Ken also highlights how these operations are increasingly fueled by actors from Africa and other developing regions, offering a unique look at lesser-known aspects of the global cybercrime economy. Also featured in this episode: Greg Otto and Matt Kapko discuss the growing issue of remote IT workers tied to North Korea.

Enrich Your OpenCTI Operation With Silent Push IOFA™ Data

Cyber defense data is only as useful as the context that surrounds it. 

Threat actors shift tactics daily and infrastructure spins up and vanishes in days or even hours. Isolated Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) aren’t enough. Security teams need connected intelligence – insight that illuminates not just a single alert, but the full shape of the infrastructure behind it. 

By linking Silent Push’s unrivalled visibility of global threat infrastructure with OpenCTI’s powerful threat intelligence framework, teams can enrich their existing datasets with high-fidelity context – helping to reveal 100% of an adversary’s digital footprint, including elements that go unnoticed by traditional toolsets.

What Is OpenCTI? 

OpenCTI (Open Cyber Threat Intelligence) is an open-source platform built to centralize, visualize, and correlate Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI). 

The platform supports structured intelligence sharing and collaboration using open standards such as STIX 2.1 and TAXII 2.1, and is used globally by SOCs, CERTs, and threat analysts to manage complex threat data in real time. 

OpenCTI includes support for TAXII feeds, file-based imports, API integrations, and offers a flexible way for organizations to analyze threat intelligence at enterprise level. 

Why Integrate Silent Push with OpenCTI? 

Silent Push provides a uniquely preemptive view of attacker infrastructure, including unseen elements in the staging and early deployment phases
 
Instead of chasing post-breach IOCs, our platform exposes Indicators of Future Attack (IOFA)™ – early warning signals based on attacker behavioral patterns, observed across our proprietary DNS and web content database. 

By integrating Silent Push with OpenCTI, organizations gain the ability to: 

  • Ingest Silent Push data via TAXII, ensuring it flows into OpenCTI in a structured format. 
  • Enrich existing indicators in OpenCTI with deeper infrastructural and behavioral context. 
  • Get curated threat reports via RSS feeds, including linked indicators and APT attribution. 

Our bi-directional integration enables analysts to move from reactive to proactive defense, and from juggling alerts to proactive action. 

STIX and TAXII: Structured, Scalable Threat Data 

At the heart of the integration is support for STIX (Structured Threat Information Expression) and TAXII (Trusted Automated Exchange of Indicator Information). 

Silent Push exposes TAXII endpoints that allow OpenCTI to pull in curated indicators, fully mapped to STIX 2.1 objects. 

This ensures that indicators from Silent Push – domains, IPs, or URLs – arrive in a standardized format, automatically enriched with threat scoring, and metadata such as hosting details, DNS context, and campaign links. 

Our integration enables correlation at scale. Indicators brought in through TAXII can be immediately cross-referenced with existing data inside OpenCTI, powering visualizations, alerts, and investigative timelines. 

End-to-end Indicator Enrichment 

The Silent Push Enrichment Connector, officially part of the OpenCTI ecosystem, is designed to deliver contextual intelligence precisely when analysts need it – during investigations. 

Once deployed, the connector monitors domains, IPs and URLs already present in OpenCTI and, on a scheduled or manual basis, retrieves matching enrichment from the Silent Push API. 

Enrichment is delivered in the form of STIX 2.1 bundles, integrated into OpenCTI via its internal processes. This means analysts don’t need to leave the platform or perform manual queries – context flows directly into their workflows. 

Enriched categories include: 

  • Hosting infrastructure history 
  • Behavioral classification (e.g., C2, phishing, typosquat) 
  • Threat tags and reputation scoring from Silent Push 
  • Discovery of associated infrastructure and campaign patterns 

The result is faster triage, better attribution, and higher confidence in decision-making. 

Threat Reports via RSS: Human-Readable, Machine-Usable 

In addition to structured indicators, Silent Push also supports RSS-based ingestion of threat reports, providing strategic context and narrative intelligence directly within OpenCTI. 

These feeds enable organizations to: 

  • Automatically ingest new threat reports as they’re published 
  • Parse and convert data into structured STIX objects 
  • Link any threat entities – such as APT groups, malware, or tools – to active indicators 

This allows analysts to see the bigger picture: not just what indicators exist, but why they matter, how they relate to ongoing campaigns, and what tactics they support. 

Insight Through Visualization 

Once ingested, Silent Push data comes to life through OpenCTI’s powerful visualization features, allowing analysts to: 

  • Build dashboards tracking threats by source, type, and confidence 
  • Use timeline views to trace infrastructure changes over time 
  • Filter indicators by tags, campaign, or observable type 
  • Explore heatmaps and geolocation overlays, if location data is available 

These views make it easier to spot trends, detect anomalies, prioritize threats, and make it easier to collaborate on threat investigations across internal security teams. 

Easy Deployment, Continuous Enrichment 

Deploying the Silent Push connector is straightforward, whether via Docker or manual setup. Once installed, the connector: 

  • Enriches observables automatically at scheduled intervals 
  • Can be triggered manually from within OpenCTI 
  • Logs activity for transparency and debugging 

Ingested data is transformed into STIX 2.1, ensuring native compatibility from the get-go. 

Whether you’re pulling indicators via TAXII or enriching observables in place, Silent Push fits directly into the OpenCTI data standards – no extra parsing, no manual translation.
