Getting Inbound connections from Malicious Palo Alto IP

[ganapatimajhi]

Hello all,

I've recently detected inbound traffic from an IP address 147.185.132.201 where the ISP is showing as Palo Alto Networks, Inc. 
The IP has a malicious reputation over VT, AbuseIPDB, and IPVoid.

Can anyone with information about this IP address share their insights? Have you noticed any unusual activity associated with this IP? Are there any known affiliations or activities that could shed light on why it might be flagged?

Kinda odd, who is shows it being actually a part of GPC, but Palo Alto.  I know Palo's primary cloud services are hosted in GPC.  I'm not sure what component of Palo's cloud service offering this IP would be coming from.

Looks like this is the email to report abuse, or if you're a palo customer I'd say open a ticket:

@ganapatimajhi,

I would actually say this isn't really that abnormal. Due to scanning (to help categorize websites properly) it isn't abnormal for my various networks/clients to identify traffic against PAN maintained addresses and our automation to step in and deny the traffic. It's pretty common when we spin up new services to see an increase in traffic.
