Analysis

This IP generated 2 messages that triggered DMARC failures on June 18, 2026, all within a single day. Every message observed from this source failed both SPF and DKIM verification. Receiving mail providers applied a reject disposition, refusing delivery outright.

The reverse DNS record resolves to VmTelecom. Whether this represents legitimate mail infrastructure depends on whether the hostname aligns with the domains this address is claiming to send on behalf of.

Geolocation places the host in Pirapora, Brazil, on infrastructure operated by HD NET TELECOM & INFORMATICA. Abuse-reporting channels in this jurisdiction are generally responsive, and reports to the network operator can result in timely remediation.

The address is registered to HD NET TELECOM & INFORMATICA (HD NET TELECOM & INFORMATICA). Enterprise-registered addresses that appear in DMARC failure data are typically either compromised hosts on the organization's network or outbound mail relays that are not properly authorized in the domain's SPF record.

Across the wider HD NET TELECOM & INFORMATICA network, 2 distinct IPs have been associated with 2 authentication failures over 3 observed messages, spanning 1 country. Activity on this network is sparse in this dataset, suggesting isolated rather than systematic abuse.

If your domain appears in the From header of mail from this address, treat it as probable spoofing. Verify that your SPF record does not authorize this host, directly or through nested include mechanisms, and that no DKIM selector you publish has been issued to it. If both checks come back clean, the receiver's reject action is doing its job.

Your DMARC policy posture matters more than any IP-level response here. The enforcement action applied to this mail indicates your policy is already providing protection. Maintaining p=reject across all your domains closes the gap for attackers who manage partial alignment. Domains that remain at p=none long-term tend to be impersonated repeatedly, because the cost to the attacker of attempting is effectively zero.

Blocking this individual address has limited durability: an attacker can rotate to another address in the same /24 subnet at effectively zero cost. More durable responses include monitoring aggregate DMARC reports so new sources are visible as they emerge, tightening SPF to remove overly permissive include chains or +all mechanisms, and ensuring DKIM is signing every legitimate outbound stream so alignment failures are unambiguous. The formal abuse contact for HD NET TELECOM & INFORMATICA is listed in LACNIC WHOIS records, and timely remediation is achievable through that channel.
