Summary

A consumer platform that published its data-centre cities and its service tiers as registry netnames.
What it's used for
- Serving a consumer social platform. 5,888 addresses in eleven IPv4 prefixes, two IPv6 prefixes, and 117 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Three blocks carry site codes in their netnames:
Public-services-3-prg,Public-services-3-miaandPublic-services-3-Mi. - Four
/24s share the netnamePublic-services-4, and one isInfrastructure-and-partner-services-2. - The parent allocations are
UK-BADOO2-20110513andUK-BADOO2-20110922. - The prefixes tile exactly:
31.222.68.0/23plus31.222.70.0/24and31.222.71.0/24cover the same space a/22would. - Sampled addresses answered as
u27.badoo.com,cluster2017.monopost.comandcluster2065.monopost.com.
Interesting
- Internal naming has leaked into the public registry.
prgandmiaare the airport-style codes for Prague and Miami, so anyone reading the RDAP records learns which cities the platform runs from and which blocks serve which. The company never announced that; the netname field simply inherited whatever the network team already called things. - The numbered tiers are the same leak in a different form.
Public-services-3andPublic-services-4distinguish two classes of externally reachable address, andInfrastructure-and-partner-servicesa third. The routing table then splits along exactly those lines, so the service architecture is legible from outside without a single probe. - 117 neighbours for under six thousand addresses is a very high ratio. Peering that widely is what a latency-sensitive consumer application buys instead of address space: sit one hop from as many networks as will accept the session.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
