Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Bank of America, National Association
enterprise legacy
BAC-MLAMRS is registered to Bank of America, National Association, the banking subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. The handle is an internal department code, not a company name — the holder record is the only thing that identifies it.
What it's used for
This is a corporate enterprise network, not a service provider. RIS observes just two announced IPv4 prefixes — 199.43.72.0/24 and 199.43.44.0/24, 512 addresses in total — no IPv6, and a single observed BGP neighbour. That shape is diagnostic: a network that exists to attach one organisation's own systems to the internet, reachable through a single upstream, with none of the peering breadth a transit carrier or an access provider would show.
Two isolated /24s from separate parts of the same legacy /16 are the classic footprint of externally-facing enterprise infrastructure — the small, deliberately-sized public surface a bank exposes while the overwhelming majority of its estate stays on private address space behind it. Nothing here suggests customer-facing hosting or connectivity resale.
Notable
The ASN dates to 1998 and predates Bank of America's 2008–2009 acquisition of Merrill Lynch, which is one reason a large financial group ends up holding several separately-registered autonomous systems inherited from merged institutions. No conclusion should be drawn about which business unit the number originally served: the handle's meaning is internal to the holder, and guessing at it would be invention.
The sampled addresses returned no reverse DNS. That is a sample of four addresses and proves nothing about the zone or about any intended posture — it is recorded here only so the absence is not later mistaken for a finding.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-18, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 442 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
