Summary
Syntax Systems
hosting business enterprise
Both netnames encode a company that no longer exists, one as an acronym and one as a five-letter truncation.
What it's used for
- A managed enterprise applications provider. 1,280 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes,
74.123.36.0/22and8.42.204.0/24, three observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
74.123.36.0/22is netnameFIT-USA, registered to the current company.8.42.204.0/24is netnameLVLT-FREUD-1-8-42-204, also registered to the current company.- That second string carries a carrier's initials, a truncated company name, a counter and the address.
- The AS handle ends in two letters that appear in neither netname.
- Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- The acronym in one netname and the truncation in the other are the same predecessor company, written by two different systems. Read together they identify an acquisition that the registrant field has already been updated to hide.
- A carrier's provisioning format is the more informative of the two, because it records who sold the space, which customer it went to at the time, and which allocation it came from, none of which the current registrant tells you.
- Three upstreams for 1,280 addresses is a provider that runs other companies' business systems. Availability is the product, and paths cost less than the alternative.

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 2026-10-15, 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 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
