CYBERSPACE-AS is the autonomous system for Cyberspace Limited, a telecommunications operator active in West Africa.
What it's used for
- The address space is registered to Visafone Communications Limited and Cyberspace Limited, with netnames such as
ORG-VCL3-AFRINICandORG-CL3-AFRINIC, indicating a mobile and fixed-line access network. - The AS announces 59904 IPv4 addresses across 38 prefixes and maintains 16 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with an access provider rather than a transit hub.
Notable
- Registrants include Visafone Communications Limited and Cyberspace Limited, alongside AfriNIC TEAM for some blocks, reflecting the operator's history and regional registry allocations.
- The address inventory is concentrated in the 41.71.0.0/16 and 41.138.0.0/16 ranges, with a smaller portion in 212.100.0.0/16, typical of a regional ISP's allocation.

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.
28 DROP matches Announced space overlapping the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
