Unclassified APNIC
Summary
COUNT+CARE
business enterprise infrastructure
The company name has a plus sign in it, spelled out as a word in the very next field.
What it's used for
- A utility group's technology company. One IPv4
/20and one IPv6/48announced from Germany, four thousand addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The holder's name joins two words with a plus sign; the abuse contact on the same block writes the same name with the word for the symbol instead, in ordinary case.
- The AS handle repeats the whole company name, corporate form included, rather than using a short code.
- The netname is a four-letter abbreviation of a different, older organisation entirely.
- The IPv6 prefix comes from a range the registry uses for assignments that travel with the holder rather than with a provider.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A symbol in a company name is a problem every system downstream has to solve, and here two fields in one record solved it two different ways. Any search matching one spelling misses the other.
- A netname naming the parent utility while the holder field names the technology subsidiary is a corporate structure preserved in a field that was never meant to record one.
- Four thousand addresses as a single announcement, with an independent IPv6 assignment beside it, is a tidy footprint: two routes, two upstreams, nothing fragmented.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-13, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 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.
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.
