Summary
Interia.pl
media hosting business
A web portal whose brand carries the country suffix inside the company name itself.
What it's used for
- A web portal's network. Two IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 block announced from Poland, five thousand one hundred and twenty addresses, across seven observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The company name ends in the national domain suffix, so the legal entity, the brand and the website are the same string. The AS handle drops the suffix, and the netnames put a country code in front of the whole thing including the suffix, naming the country twice.
- The two netnames share a template of country code, brand and date, with the first from the last days of the year two thousand and the second from fourteen years later.
- Three of six queried addresses answered, each with the word for static, the four numbers of the address in hyphens, and the portal's domain.
- Both blocks list the company and a role contact for abuse, with no individual named.
Interesting
- Naming ranges static is a habit from the era when it was the exception worth marking. It tells anyone reading a log that the address belongs to a customer with a fixed assignment rather than to a pool.
- Portals were the first big consumers of hosting in their countries because they ran mail, news and search from their own machines. Five thousand addresses is a modest holding now, but it dates from when a company like this had to own everything it served.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
6 upstream, 0 downstream and 8 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-31, 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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-01. 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.
