AS12397 OPTOCOM
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Optocom
isp fiber
A Ukrainian fibre provider whose abuse contact is a named person rather than a role.
What it's used for
- Internet access. 1,024 addresses in a single
/22with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The block,
193.150.56.0/22, is netnameOPTOCOM, registered to Optocom Ltd. - The abuse contact on the record is a person by name, Anatoliy Titar, where most blocks in this range list a role object instead.
- The holder field reads
Optocom Optocom Ltd, repeating the name. - Two upstreams for a single
/22.
Interesting
- A named individual as the abuse contact is the older convention, and it survives at small providers because at a small provider it is also the accurate one. The role object exists so the contact keeps working when staff change; when the staff is one person, the two are the same thing.
- The name is the company's product statement: optical communications, from an era when fibre was the differentiator worth putting on the letterhead rather than the assumed default.
- Two neighbours on 1,024 addresses is a regional ISP that has bought a second path, which in Ukraine has been less a theoretical resilience exercise than an operational one.

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 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
