Bahrain · AI-generated

finance corporate closed

AMEX-ME-AS is operated by American Express Middle East.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries corporate infrastructure for a financial services provider, identified by the netname BH-AMEX-ME-20190426 and registrant AMEX (MIDDLE EAST) B.S.C. (CLOSED).
  • The inventory consists of 512 IPv4 addresses within a single prefix (45.11.72.0/23) and 0 IPv6 prefixes, with 2 observed neighbours, indicating a small, self-contained corporate estate rather than a transit or access network.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of internal corporate endpoints and web/API services for a credit card issuer regulated by the Central Bank of Bahrain.

Notable

  • The registrant AMEX (MIDDLE EAST) B.S.C. (CLOSED) matches the AS handle AMEX-ME-AS, confirming the identity of the holder.
  • The organisation is identified in secondary sources as a credit card provider that has been closed, with the entity name explicitly marked as (CLOSED) in registry records.
  • The address inventory is a single contiguous block of 512 addresses, typical of a dedicated corporate allocation.

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: 448 networks and 1,851 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.
