In Brazil and globally, 'IP blacklist' is a standard term in cybersecurity and IT administration. While Portuguese translations exist (lista negra de IP), the English term is widely understood and used even by Portuguese speakers in technical contexts. In Portugal, there's a slight preference for more descriptive phrasing with 'endereços IP' (IP addresses) rather than the acronym alone.
