Both the handle and the netname name the document this company exists to process.
What it's used for
- A visa services contractor's network. 768 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The AS handle is
CSC-VISAand both blocks carry the netnameCSC-VISA-GLOBAL. 74.123.52.0/23and74.123.54.0/24sit end to end with no gap between them.- The registrant field appends a role, naming network operations rather than a person.
- Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Companies that handle visa applications on behalf of governments sit in an unusual position: they collect passport details, biometrics and travel history at scale, without being a government themselves. The network is small, the data is not, and none of it should be reachable from here.
- The netname adding the word global to the handle is the only difference between the two records, which suggests the netname was created for what was expected to become several regional entries and the rest never followed.
- A contiguous run announced as two pieces rather than one costs an extra routing table entry and buys the ability to move half of it independently.
- One upstream for a contractor of this kind is a single point of failure, though a business whose offices sit in dozens of countries would reach the centre over private links rather than through this announcement.

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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
