What it means to see AS53061 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS53061. That means the other end sits on the G2NET SUL PROVEDOR LTDA network (Brazil). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
