Summary
Neiman Marcus Group
business enterprise hosting
A luxury retailer announcing a data centre company's addresses, under that company's previous name.
What it's used for
- A department store group's network. 512 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The whole footprint is
216.150.206.0/23, carrying the netnameVIAWEST-BLK-5. - That block is registered to
Flexential Colorado Corp., a colocation provider, not to the retailer. - The netname is the provider's earlier brand, kept after the rename.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Nothing in the address registry connects these addresses to the retailer. The only public assertion that the two are related is the routing itself, which is a fair description of what colocation is: the building, the power and the addresses belong to somebody else, and the equipment inside the cage belongs to you.
- The netname preserving the provider's old brand while the registrant carries the new one is the same pattern seen across this range, and it is why netnames are a better guide to a company's history than to its present.
- A retailer with one upstream and no address space of its own is running this AS for a specific purpose rather than as its main network. The customer-facing storefront of a chain this size lives with a delivery provider.
- Nothing published in reverse DNS keeps whatever is in that cage unidentified, which is the right choice.

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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. 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.
