Summary

Nation Media Group

Kenya · AI-generated

media business kenya

NMG-AS is the autonomous system for Nation Media Group.

What it's used for

  • The address space is registered under the netname ORG-NMG1-AFRINIC and carries infrastructure for a major media organization.
  • The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses within a single prefix (196.6.202.0/23) and maintains 2 observed neighbours, indicating a small, self-contained corporate network rather than a transit or access provider.

Notable

  • The RDAP registrant Nation Media Group matches the AS holder, confirming direct ownership of the address space.
  • Nation Media Group is the largest independent media house in East and Central Africa, operating print, broadcast, and digital media services.
  • The inventory consists of a single contiguous /23 block with no IPv6 prefixes announced.

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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-22. 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.
