Summary
Isracard
finance business infrastructure
The netname drops a vowel out of the brand to make it fit.
What it's used for
- A credit card company's network. One IPv4
/22announced from Israel, no IPv6, one thousand and twenty-four addresses, across three observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The netname is the brand with a vowel removed from the second half, then the word for a network.
- The AS handle spells the same brand in full, so the shortening was a choice made in one field and not the other.
- The registrants are the company under its legal form and an abuse role.
- One route, three upstreams, one thousand addresses, present since the routing archive's earliest records.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Dropped vowels in netnames come from the era of fixed-width fields, where a name had to fit a character limit and the vowels were the first thing to go. The limit is long gone and the abbreviation stays, because renaming a block is work with no reward.
- Three upstreams on a card processor is the sensible number and a contrast with most financial networks in this range, which sit behind one. Card authorisation fails visibly and immediately when the network does, so the redundancy has a price attached to it.

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 2026-11-03, 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: 451 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-04. 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.
