Autonomous system
AS12965 SEBBANKA
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
SEB banka
finance business enterprise
A bank whose registered name begins with the letters AS, meaning something else entirely.
What it's used for
- The network of a Latvian bank. 512 addresses in one IPv4 prefix, a single observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The whole inventory is
193.178.150.0/23, netnameSEBbankain mixed case. - The registrant is recorded as
AS "SEB banka", with the quotation marks preserved. - First observed in the routing archive in August 2000.
- Three addresses were sampled and none returned a name.
Interesting
- The registrant name starts with
AS, which here abbreviates the Latvian term for a joint-stock company and has nothing to do with autonomous systems. Anyone reading registry data across countries meets this constantly: the same two letters mean a company form in the Baltics and Scandinavia, and a routing identifier everywhere in this dataset. Automated parsing gets it wrong in both directions. - The quotation marks around the name are part of the legal entity as registered and have survived every system that has handled the record since. Registries store what they are given, and punctuation that means something in a national company register becomes noise once it reaches the routing world.
- A /23 announced by a bank through a single neighbour, with nothing answering to a name. That combination has appeared repeatedly across this range regardless of country, which makes it something close to a signature: financial institutions run small, quiet, singly connected networks whose visible surface tells you nothing about their size.

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: 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.
