Summary
Lincoln National Corporation
finance business enterprise
Twenty-six announcements, every one a piece of the same parent range, every one under one netname.
What it's used for
- An insurance and financial services group's network. 17,920 addresses across 26 IPv4 prefixes, four observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Every prefix begins
148.159, so all 26 are fragments of a single parent range. - Sizes run from
/21down to/24, cut at irregular boundaries rather than halving evenly. - All 12 records that answered give netname
LNC, three letters, with the same registrant. - Those records name both an internet systems group and an abuse contact.
- Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Announcing 26 pieces of one range to four upstreams puts 26 entries in every routing table on the internet where one would carry the same traffic. The pieces are not halves and quarters of each other, which rules out a planned splitting scheme and points at internal segments each announced as it was built.
- Three letters as the netname for all of it means the registry cannot distinguish any piece from any other, so the fragmentation visible in routing has no counterpart in the records.
- Naming an abuse contact on every block is the part done properly, and it costs nothing.

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 2026-10-18, 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: 443 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
