Autonomous system
AS24286 WNI-AS - Weathernews,Inc.
Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Weathernews, Inc.
business media japan
The AS handle WNI-AS is held by Weathernews, Inc.
What it's used for
- The address space is registered to APNIC with the netname
APNIC-AP, indicating the block is allocated by the regional registry rather than carrying specific customer-facing reverse DNS identifiers in the sample. - The AS announces a single IPv4 prefix,
202.12.8.0/21, comprising 2048 addresses, and has one observed routing neighbour, a ratio consistent with a small, self-contained corporate network rather than a transit or large-scale access provider.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant for the announced prefix is listed as APNIC Hostmaster, which differs from the AS holder Weathernews, Inc., a common configuration for space allocated directly by the regional registry.
- The inventory consists of a single contiguous /21 block with no IPv6 prefixes announced, reflecting a compact and static address estate.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-04, 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: 453 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-05. 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.
