Summary
Yahoo
business infrastructure corporate
YAHOO-BF1 is the autonomous system for Yahoo Holdings Inc.
What it's used for
- The address space carries internal corporate infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
et15-1.fab8-2-gdc.bf1.yahoo.comand254.183.139.98.aprez.ostk.prod.bf1.yahoo.com. - The AS announces 121,344 IPv4 addresses across 72 prefixes and 4 IPv6 prefixes, maintaining a single observed neighbour, which indicates a large internal corporate estate rather than a transit or access network.
Notable
- All registrants for the largest prefixes are listed as Yahoo Holdings Inc., with netnames including
A-YAHOO-US9,A-YAHOO-U23, andINKTOMI-BLK-4. - The presence of
INKTOMInetnames reflects the historical acquisition of Inktomi by Yahoo, which provided the underlying infrastructure for Yahoo's web services. - The inventory consists of finely subdivided /20 and /21 blocks, consistent with site-by-site segmentation for a major technology company.

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: 442 networks and 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
