isp mobile eyeball
Kyivstar (KYIVSTAR-BLOCK) — Ukraine's largest mobile and fixed-line operator, part of the VEON group.
What it's used for
- Mobile data and voice for a large Ukrainian subscriber base, plus fixed broadband and home internet.
Notable
- A major Ukrainian "eyeball" network: addresses here are largely mobile devices and home broadband users, often behind carrier-grade NAT.
- Part of VEON, an international telecom group with operations across several emerging markets.
Interesting
- Kyivstar suffered a large cyberattack in December 2023 that knocked out mobile and internet service for millions during the war, one of the most disruptive telecom incidents of the conflict.

Classification and threat
Mobile Cellular carrier. Addresses are shared by many handsets via CGNAT.
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 1,773 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.
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.
