Summary

Yahoo Japan

Japan · AI-generated

business content enterprise japan

YAHOO-JP-AS-AP is operated by Yahoo Japan.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries internal corporate infrastructure, evidenced by the reverse DNS record jailtest03.vip.ops.kks.yahoo.co.jp which points to operational systems within the yahoo.co.jp domain.
  • The AS announces 118,784 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining only 9 observed neighbours. This high address-to-neighbour ratio, combined with the finely subdivided inventory and consistent registrant data, indicates an internal corporate estate rather than a transit or access network.

Notable

  • All registrants for the announced prefixes are consistent with the announcer, listing "Yahoo Japan" and "YAHOO JAPAN" with the IRT contact IRT-YAHOO-JP.
  • The address inventory consists of four distinct IPv4 blocks ranging from a /16 to a /20, alongside a single /32 IPv6 prefix, reflecting a segmented internal network structure.

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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
