๐ต๐ฑ TI-2026-025B โ โMEVSPACE: The Polish Bulletproof Hostโ
๐ Executive Summary
MEVSPACE sp. z o.o. โ previously branded MEVERYWHERE, and before that Skynode / SkyTechnology โ is not a stray VPS shop that drifted into abuse. It is a Warsaw-registered Polish hosting company with documented corporate continuity, its own datacenter footprint, roughly 500โ1000 Gbps declared capacity, four autonomous systems, a long-lived RIPE maintainer presence, and a public commercial posture that structurally fits bulletproof hosting.
The most consequential fact is simple: the same MEVSPACE /22 hosts both opportunistic attack infrastructure and documented malware command-and-control. The honeypot-targeting IPs 195.3.220.7 and 195.3.220.88 sit inside the same allocation as 195.3.223.218, publicly documented as a Rhadamanthys infostealer C2. That overlap does not prove a single operator, but it does support a single-customer-allocation theory inside a host that repeatedly attracts criminal tenants.RIPE ยท MalwareConfigLists ยท Gi7w0rm
GreyNoise placed MEVSPACE at the center of the CVE-2025-55182 exploitation wave: five MEVSPACE IPs generated 2.4M+ sessions, with 195.3.222.78 alone responsible for 1.07M sessions. This was not single-vulnerability curiosity either: the same cluster also hit Fortinet VPN, Palo Alto GlobalProtect, ASUS routers, and Spring Cloud Gateway using the same campaign fingerprint 65495_2-4-8-1-3_65495_7.GreyNoise 2026-01-20
Named RIPE records place Adam Ochmanski at the center of this infrastructure since 2013. The corporate registry confirms a capitalized Polish company (PLN 2,665,000, ~โฌ620K) rather than an ephemeral shell. A company with that capital, owned datacenter presence, Russian-language commercial UI, Tor relay density, open peering, Bitcoin billing, and a long public abuse trail is not โaccidentallyโ abuse-friendly. It is a provider whose business model tolerates, attracts, or profits from exactly the traffic pattern defenders end up fighting.
๐ข Corporate Archaeology โ One company, four skins, fifteen years of continuity
The brand history matters because it disproves the โrandom cheap hostโ reading. The identity chain is continuous: SkyTechnology โ Skynode โ Meverywhere โ MEVSPACE. The corporate shell changed names; the network stewardship and sales logic did not.KRS ยท RIPE ยท PeeringDB

๐ค Named Principals โ The RIPE record names names
This is not an attribution-by-vibes section. The registry data gives named humans, named roles, and named contact surfaces. What it does not give is a public KRS board-level proof that the RIPE operator and the corporate controller are the same person. That gap matters.RIPE WHOIS ยท KRS

๐๏ธ Physical Infrastructure โ Owned metal, premium colo, expanding ASN set
The infrastructure picture removes another excuse. MEVSPACE is not just flipping third-party VPS inventory. It shows signs of mixed ownership: an owned datacenter in Wyszkรณw and presence in premium Warsaw colocation.PeeringDB ยท RIPE ยท corporate materials
| Component | Detail | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DC-1 | ul. Serwerowa 10, 07-200 Wyszkรณw, Mazowieckie | Owned facility, not merely leased rackspace |
| Warsaw presence | LIM Warsaw, Equinix WA1 | Carrier-grade interconnection and premium colo access |

| Additional ASNs | AS205299, AS50212 (MEVIX), AS207208 | Portfolio expansion; AS207208 added April 2026 |
| Peering stance | Open peering policy | Lowers friction for rapid traffic exchange and route spread |
| Traffic profile | Heavy outbound ratio despite โContentโ labeling | Anomalous for normal content distribution; consistent with scan / proxy / relay activity |
The datacenter address is almost too perfect: ul. Serwerowa โ literally โServer Street.โ It would be comic if the downstream abuse pattern were not so persistent.
๐งฐ Attack Platform Analysis โ Two boxes, one toolkit family, one cross-country echo
The observed attack infrastructure inside MEVSPACE is operationally interesting because the hosts are not generic commodity Linux scanners. One is a Windows attack workstation; the other is a quieter Ubuntu SSH node. Both align to the same Paramiko-family HASSH that later appears in Cambodia.honeypot telemetry ยท recon ยท HASSH correlation

TOOLKIT CONTINUITY โ same negotiation fingerprint across Poland and Cambodia strongly suggests shared operator tooling |
The cross-country signal is the important one. Different jurisdictions, same fingerprint, same attack family. That is not enough to collapse everything into one human operator; it is enough to say the tooling and tradecraft are shared across borders.
โ ๏ธ The Rhadamanthys Connection โ Same /22, same host, same problem
195.3.223.218, inside the same 195.3.220.0/22 MEVSPACE allocation, was publicly documented as Rhadamanthys infostealer C2 on 2023-03-02. The customer name on RIPE-side records is given as โInnowacyjne Rozwiazania Informatyczne.pl sp. z o.oโ, which reads like either a real customer or a shell-like abstraction layer. Either way, it sits inside the same MEVSPACE-addressed space as the credential-spray nodes targeting the honeypot.MalwareConfigLists ยท RIPE
| Indicator | Observation | Implication |
|---|---|---|
195.3.223.218 | Documented Rhadamanthys C2 | Infostealer operations already anchored inside MEVSPACE space |
195.3.220.7 / .88 | Credential-spray / targeted attack nodes | Same /22 houses both access-harvest and credential-application layers |
| Customer label | โInnowacyjne Rozwiazania Informatyczne.pl sp. z o.oโ | Possible customer wrapper; possible shell; insufficient public proof either way |
Why this matters: Rhadamanthys is not trivial malware. It has been used by actors linked to Iranian MOIS (Void Manticore / Handala) and Russian GRU (Sandworm) in adjacent reporting ecosystems. That does not mean MEVSPACE is a state host. It means the same address space has already serviced infrastructure attractive to serious criminal and state-adjacent actors.public CTI reporting
Critical inference: the same /22 hosting both infostealer C2 and credential-spray infrastructure is fully consistent with a single-customer allocation theory โ one criminal tenant or reseller layer using one block for multiple phases of the access economy.
๐ก CVE-2025-55182 โ MEVSPACE as campaign origin infrastructure
On 2026-01-20, GreyNoise documented MEVSPACE as the #1 source for a broad exploitation campaign around CVE-2025-55182 (React Server Components RCE). That is not a side note; it is an industrial-scale abuse signal.GreyNoise
| Campaign element | Observed value | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| MEVSPACE source IPs | 5 IPs | Not one compromised VPS; multiple campaign nodes |
| Total sessions | 2.4M+ | Mass exploitation, not curiosity scanning |
| Top node | 195.3.222.78 โ 1.07M sessions | Adjacent /23 inside same network family |
| Additional targets | Fortinet VPN, Palo Alto GlobalProtect, ASUS routers, Spring Cloud Gateway | Multi-product opportunistic exploitation wave |
| JA4T fingerprint | 65495_2-4-8-1-3_65495_7 | Campaign consistency across target sets |
This is the same pattern defenders keep seeing with bulletproof hosts: a provider does not need to write the exploit. It only needs to be the place the exploit reliably comes from.
๐ธ Financial & Abuse Profile โ The business model in plain sight

| Payments | EUR / USD / BTC switcher | Bitcoin support lowers friction for abuse-tolerant customers |
| Trial pricing | โฌ1 for 48-hour test server | Cheap low-commitment entry for churn-heavy tenants |
| Language | ru_RU UI available | Russian-language market access is a business decision, not an accident |
| Traffic profile | Heavy outbound vs. โContentโ label | Consistent with scanning, relaying, or traffic generation |

๐ง Vectorized Cross-Links โ What the graph adds
The Qdrant-linked dossier graph connects this host to wider patterns already present elsewhere in the corpus.
| Cross-link | Graph reading | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Go Scanner Botnet | Shares a spouse-derived credential theme [REDACTED] with the MEVSPACE operator, but with different tooling and timing | Most likely shared market source, not necessarily same hands on keyboard |
| TI-019G | Maps to the broader category: bulletproof hosting providers enabling abuse | MEVSPACE fits the โinfrastructure that survives complaint gravityโ archetype |
| Location discrepancy | Early DB entries said Toruล; later corroboration confirms Warsaw + Wyszkรณw datacenter footprint | Important correction: not fake, but incomplete early metadata |
๐ณ๏ธ The Conspiratorial Read โ Questions & calibrated answers
Questions are tools. Each answer states what the evidence supports, and stops where proof stops.
โ Is MEVSPACE knowingly operating as a criminal hosting service?
The evidence supports structural abuse enablement at HIGH confidence: public Bitcoin billing, Russian UI, โฌ1 test servers, Tor density, heavy outbound traffic, Rhadamanthys overlap, and repeated appearance in major exploitation and abuse feeds. What we do not have is an internal document saying โwe knowingly host criminals.โ The defensible statement is that the business is organized in a way that consistently attracts and sustains criminal use.
โ Is Adam Ochmanski the customer or the provider?
RIPE says provider-side operator โ the record places him in the administrative and operational scaffolding. What remains unproven in public KRS materials is whether the RIPE operator identity and the controlling corporate decision-maker are fully the same. So: provider-side, HIGH confidence; ultimate board-level control, not fully evidenced.
โ Could the Rhadamanthys C2 and the attack IPs be the same customer allocation?
Yes โ that is one of the strongest inferences here. Same /22, same host, adjacent criminal functionality. It is not proven to the standard of leaked customer tickets, but it is the most parsimonious explanation for why infostealer C2 and credential-spray infrastructure coexist inside one customer-looking slice.
โ Why has RIPE not revoked allocations after 12 years of documented abuse?
Because abuse alone rarely triggers routing death in the absence of registry-policy breach, fraud proof, court action, or upstream collapse. This is the quiet lesson of bulletproof hosting: the official internet can tolerate a great deal of criminal externality as long as the paperwork stays inside policy lines.
โ Is there a Polish law-enforcement protection angle?
No evidence supports that claim. The more disciplined reading is narrower: there is a notable absence of publicly visible cooperation, not proof of protection. We keep the protection hypothesis at LOW confidence and do not state it as fact.
๐๏ธ Read Between the Lines
โก What the record is really saying
- A company with โฌ620K capital and an owned datacenter is not โaccidentallyโ bulletproof. This is a deliberate operating posture, not adolescent hosting chaos.
- The Russian UI is a market choice. Product localization tells you who the company expects to sell to.
- Heavy outbound traffic from a โContentโ network is the tell. That profile fits scan / relay / attack generation far better than passive content serving.
- DataVex onboarded as a customer on 2026-06-02. New customers are still being accepted after public abuse documentation accumulated.
- The phrase โServer Streetโ would be comic if it were not literal. The infrastructure is not hiding. It is daring the complaint system to do something with obviousness.
