Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Activision Publishing
media business enterprise
Two fields name a country the block is not registered in.
What it's used for
- A games publisher's studio network. 1,024 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The AS handle is
ATVI-BEENOX-CAN, naming the parent's stock abbreviation, a studio and a country. - The netname on
104.219.116.0/22isATVI-CANADA, and the registrant is the parent publisher. - The block itself is registered in the region covering the United States.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A studio in one country using address space registered in another is ordinary for a group that files its paperwork centrally. The names in the record preserve where the network is, which the registry's own country field does not.
- Using a stock ticker as the leading part of a handle is a habit of large groups with many subsidiaries. It survives rebranding, it is short, and it identifies the parent unambiguously, which matters when one company holds dozens of studios.
- Game development sends enormous builds between studios and to publishing systems, and this is the kind of network that carries them. A single upstream is thin for that, unless the heavy traffic moves over private links the collector cannot see.
- Nothing published in reverse DNS keeps an unreleased title's build infrastructure from being mapped, which for this industry is a real concern rather than a theoretical one.

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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
