The AS handle GREENFLASH is operated by Megs, a South African internet service provider.
What it's used for

0.srixon.megs.co.zaand102.69.77.0.megs.co.za. - The network announces 6144 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes and 3 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 19 observed neighbours; this ratio indicates an access network providing connectivity to end-users rather than a transit provider.

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: 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.
