Summary
VK
cdn social business russia
VKONTAKTE-REGIONAL-CDN is operated by VK, the Russian social media and technology conglomerate formerly known as Vkontakte.
What it's used for
- The address space carries front-end infrastructure for VK's services, evidenced by netnames
VK-FRONTandVKONTAKTE-FRONT, and reverse DNS entries such assrv128-202.vkontakte.ru. - With 3584 IPv4 addresses announced across 10 prefixes and 12 observed neighbours, the ratio suggests a content delivery and service delivery network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants consistently align with the announcer, including
VK ADM,VK NOC, andVkontakte Network Control Center (NCC). - The address inventory is finely subdivided into multiple /24 and /23 blocks, indicating internal segmentation for different service tiers or geographic regions within the corporate estate.

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: 440 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
