Unclassified DROP-listed space ARIN
Summary
UUNET South America (Verizon Business)
transit telecom business
Two addresses out of eighteen answer, and one of them answers with a customer's own company name.
What it's used for
- A legacy transit network. 146,944 addresses across 25 IPv4 prefixes, with 30 observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The AS handle is
UUNET-SA, the netnames areUUNET-BR1andUUNET-BR2, and the registrant isVerizon. - Twenty-three of the 25 prefixes fall inside
64.116and64.117, in every size from/17down to/24. 200.58.0.0/18is the one block carryingUUNET-BR1.- Two of eighteen sampled addresses returned a name:
21Cust254.tnt3.sju2.da.uu.netandunilever0.unilever.com. - The registry lookups for
64.116.224.0/19and64.117.192.0/20failed.
Interesting
- One address in this network answers under a completely different company's domain. That happens when a provider assigns space to a customer and delegates the reverse zone with it, so the customer names their own addresses. It is the clearest evidence available from outside that a block is in use by someone other than the holder.
- The other name reads as a dial-up era access server: a customer number, a terminal server number, and a site code, under the provider's own domain. Both records still resolve.
- Three different labels describe one network:
SAin the handle,BRin the netnames, and every prefix attributed to the United States. The registry, the routing and the naming were each filled in by someone with a different idea of where this was.

Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.

Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.

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.
