AS13888 BEARCREEK-AS - Bear Creek Operations Inc
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Bear Creek Operations
business enterprise
The AS is named for one company and both its blocks are registered to another, whose name begins with a phone number.
What it's used for
- A retailer's corporate network. 512 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The AS handle is
BEARCREEK-AS; both blocks are registered to800-FLOWERS, INC. - The netnames are
UU-63-118-87andUU-65-241-160, an earlier carrier's prefix followed by the first three octets of each block. - The two blocks sit in unrelated parts of the address space.
- One upstream carries both.
- Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A registrant name starting with digits breaks the assumption behind most alphabetical listings, and a company that chose its phone number as its brand inherits that everywhere its name is written down. The registry stores it exactly as given, so the sort order is whatever the software decides digits mean.
- Netnames carrying a carrier's initials survive the carrier. The prefix records who assigned the block, not who holds it, so the record keeps pointing at a company that has since been absorbed twice over while the address it names still routes.
- One upstream for a retailer's whole network means an outage there is an outage here.

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: 454 networks and 1,847 prefixes, as published 2026-11-11. 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.
