Summary
Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc.
BLUE-RIDGE-BANKSHARES-ASN is Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc., the Virginia-based holding company for Blue Ridge Bank. AS10248 exists to give the bank a provider-independent internet edge, nothing more.
What it's used for
The bank's own internet presence and branch connectivity. The AS announces a single IPv4 prefix, 198.54.172.0/24 — 256 addresses — and no IPv6. A sampled address resolves to internet.mybrbs.com, and mybrbs.com is Blue Ridge Bank's own domain. That PTR is the whole story in one line: the space is registered to the holder and named by the holder, so this is first-party infrastructure rather than address space leased out or carrying someone else's traffic.
Notable
This is an enterprise network — specifically the shape a mid-size regulated business takes when it wants to be multi-homed. A single /24 with two observed BGP neighbours means the bank bought portable address space and announces it to two upstream providers so that losing one carrier does not take its online banking, VPN concentrators and mail off the internet. Renumbering out of a provider's space every time you change carriers is unacceptable for a bank; owning the /24 and running BGP is the standard fix.
Nothing about this is a hosting, transit or consumer network. A /24 cannot serve subscribers at scale, there is no pool-style rDNS, and two adjacencies rule out any wholesale role. Treat every address here as Blue Ridge Bank corporate infrastructure.

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: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-11-04. 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.
