AS14423 NOVAC-AS
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Nova Casualty Company
finance business enterprise
The netname packs a carrier, a city and a squeezed company name into three groups.
What it's used for
- An insurance company's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The whole footprint is
24.75.43.0/24, carrying the netnameTELCOVE-BFLO-NVACSCand registered to the insurer. - The first group is a carrier brand, the second a four-letter city abbreviation, the third the company's name with its vowels removed.
- The AS handle is
NOVAC-AS, a different contraction of the same name. - Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Three fields of compression in one string, each using a different scheme: a brand kept whole, a city cut to consonants, a company cut to consonants differently. Somebody had a character limit and spent it carefully, and the result records who sold the circuit, where it landed and who bought it.
- The carrier brand disappeared into a larger company years ago, so the netname preserves an operator that no longer trades while the registrant stays current.
- The AS handle contracts the insurer's name in a way that does not match the netname's contraction, which means the two entries were written by different people or at different times.
- One upstream and no IPv6 for an insurer's routed presence.

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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
