Unclassified ARIN Enterprise
Summary
Alticor Inc
enterprise legacy
ALTICOR-INC is Alticor, the privately held Michigan holding company whose main business is Amway, the direct-selling household and nutrition brand. This is a large corporate network run for one company's own use.
What it's used for
Enterprise infrastructure. RIS observes 26 IPv4 prefixes carrying about 66,000 addresses, no IPv6, and six observed BGP neighbours. Nearly all of it comes out of a single legacy /16, 167.23.0.0/16, which is announced both whole and split into its two /17 halves, then further deaggregated into a long tail of /22s, /23s and /24s. That is an internal estate being advertised piecewise for traffic engineering, and it is the opposite of a provider's inventory: 66,000 addresses behind six upstreams is a big enterprise, since a carrier of that address size would peer with hundreds of ASes.
Every prefix registrant checked comes back as ALTICOR-INC, org Alticor Inc. Announcer and registrant are the same company throughout, so nothing here resembles leased or brokered space.
Notable
One prefix stands outside the 167.23.0.0/16 block: 103.44.17.0/24, which sits in APNIC-administered space. Alticor's largest markets are in Asia, so an Asia-Pacific /24 announced from the same AS fits the company rather than contradicting it. Cross-RIR space is only a warning sign when it comes with unrelated registrants, which is not the case here.
Twenty addresses were sampled for reverse DNS and none answered. That is a sample out of 66,000, and no conclusion follows from it.

Reputation
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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
