Summary
PayPal
business finance corporate
The AS handle PAYPAL is operated by PayPal, Inc.
What it's used for
- The address space carries corporate infrastructure, evidenced by netnames such as
PAYPAL-SITE,PAYPAL-EU, andXOOM. - With 10,496 IPv4 addresses announced across 16 prefixes and only 10 observed neighbours, the ratio indicates a large internal corporate estate rather than a transit or access network.
Notable
- Registrants align with the announcer, primarily listing PayPal, Inc., with some blocks registered to PayPal Pvt Ltd.
- The inventory is finely subdivided into multiple /21, /22, /23, and /24 blocks, reflecting site-by-site segmentation for a global financial services provider.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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.
