Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Citadele banka
finance business enterprise
The handle ends mid-sentence, explaining what the number will be used for.
What it's used for
- A bank's network. A single IPv4 prefix announced from Latvia, no IPv6, two thousand and forty-eight addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- The AS handle is this network's own number, an underscore, the bank's brand, and then a clause saying the number will be used to provide connectivity. A request form's justification field ended up in the routing label.
- Two letters do double duty throughout. They are the abbreviation for an autonomous system and also the local suffix for a joint-stock company, so the same pair appears twice in the holder field meaning two different things.
- The holder puts the company suffix before the name and wraps the name in quotation marks, which is the local convention and looks like an error everywhere else.
- The netname is the brand alone in mixed case, without a country code or a date.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Free-text fields collect whatever was in the applicant's head. A sentence written in the future tense, read two decades later, is a small record of the day somebody asked for the number and had to say why.
- A bank with two thousand addresses and one upstream is running its own routing for control rather than resilience. The number means the addresses stay put when the provider changes.

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: 454 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-06. 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.
