AS12750 SOFTEC-MNT Interconnect Services
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
SOFTEC
hosting business isp
One /19, one IPv6 /32, and a maintainer-object suffix that escaped into the AS name.
What it's used for
- Interconnect and hosting services in Switzerland. 8,192 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, one IPv6 prefix, and two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The whole IPv4 inventory is
212.80.96.0/19, netnameCH-SOFTEC-19991028. - The IPv6 announcement is
2a01:7480::/32. - The AS handle reads
SOFTEC-MNT Interconnect Services. - Three sampled addresses were queried and none returned a name.
Interesting
-MNTis the suffix the registry uses for maintainer objects, the records that say who is allowed to change other records. It is a database artefact, not a company name, and its appearance in the AS handle means somebody copied the wrong identifier into the field. Every routing tool in the world now labels this network with the name of a permissions object.- The netname date, 28 October 1999, is shared exactly with a block registered to a bank in Turkey elsewhere in this range. A repeated date across unrelated holders in different countries is a registry batch day: applications were processed together and every record created that day carries the same stamp.
- A single
/19announced whole, with no deaggregation at all, is unusual enough to notice. Most networks this size have been split by growth, acquisition or traffic engineering into several announcements; this one has stayed exactly as it was allocated for twenty-five years.

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.
