Summary
Waggener Edstrom Worldwide, Inc.
enterprise legacy
WAGGENER-EDSTROM is Waggener Edstrom Worldwide, Inc., the global public-relations and communications agency founded in 1983 and long identified with Microsoft as its defining client. The firm rebranded as WE Communications in 2015; the legal entity, and the name on the AS and its address blocks, is still Waggener Edstrom Worldwide.
What it's used for
The agency's own corporate network. RIS sees 4 IPv4 prefixes, 1,024 addresses, no IPv6, and 4 observed neighbours. Four /24s, four adjacencies, no v6: a leaf enterprise that takes transit and originates only its own space. Nothing about the routing suggests hosting, transit or subscriber access.
All four prefixes register in ARIN to Waggener Edstrom Worldwide, Inc., under the WAGGED and WAGGED2 handles. Registrant and originator are the same party throughout, which rules out any leased-space or third-party reading of the inventory.
Notable
This is a good example of why an AS should be described by its current holder rather than by an assumed history. The number is low and the entity name is dated, but neither tells you the network's age or its role. What the evidence supports is narrow and solid: a mid-sized professional-services firm, a handful of contiguous /24s, a small number of upstreams for resilience, and no public footprint beyond its own edge.
Interesting
Three of the four prefixes are consecutive — 204.153.212.0/24, 204.153.213.0/24 and 204.153.214.0/24 — announced as separate /24s rather than aggregated into a /22. That is normal when the blocks were assigned individually over time and never renumbered. Reverse DNS returned nothing on the eight addresses sampled, which is a sample and not a finding about the zone.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-14, 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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
