AS10090 ldschurch-as-ap - LDS Church of Jesus Christ
Unclassified APNIC
Summary
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
ldschurch-as-ap is registered to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is one of several ASNs the church holds; the larger estate sits under AS19648, registered to the Corporation of the Presiding Bishop.
What it's used for
The church runs a genuinely large private network for a religious organisation: meetinghouse connectivity worldwide, family-history and genealogical services, a global education system, and the wireless estate it rebranded from LDSAccess to Liahona around 2020. This particular AS is a small piece of that — a single announced block, most plausibly a specific facility or service edge rather than the church's general infrastructure.
Notable
The kind is enterprise, and the routing is unambiguous. RIS sees exactly 1 IPv4 prefix — 198.60.76.0/24, 256 addresses — and 1 observed neighbour. One /24 behind one upstream cannot be a service provider of any kind; there is nothing to sell and nowhere to sell it. This is an organisation announcing its own provider-independent space. The 198.60.x range is Utah territory long associated with Salt Lake City networks, which fits the church's headquarters and is consistent with the holder.
Interesting
The handle is a trap worth naming. The -ap suffix conventionally marks an APNIC registration, yet the announced prefix is ARIN space in Utah. Handles are assigned once and then outlive whatever convention produced them — the suffix here tells you nothing reliable about the region, and it is a good example of why the handle is evidence in neither direction.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 454 networks and 1,847 prefixes, as published 2026-11-11. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
