Summary
Psychz Networks
hosting dedicated security
A US dedicated-server and hosting provider, Psychz Networks, based in the Los Angeles area and announcing as PSYCHZ. It offers dedicated servers, colocation, and DDoS-protected hosting across multiple global data centers.
What it's used for
- Dedicated servers, colocation, and DDoS mitigation/protected hosting, with points of presence in the US, Europe, and Asia.
Notable
- An IP here identifies Psychz as the host, not the operator of the content. As a low-cost dedicated/DDoS-protected network it appears regularly in abuse and reputation datasets.
Interesting
- Psychz markets its own DDoS-protection service, so some traffic to its IPs is scrubbed/proxied rather than terminating directly on a customer box.

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: 449 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-03. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
3 IC3 indicators addresses in this network appear in FBI IC3 cybersecurity advisories.
| Prefix | Advisory | Published |
|---|---|---|
216.252.238.104 | Russian State-Supported Cyber Actors Conduct Phishing Campaign Targeting Users of Zimbra Collaboration Suite | 2026-07-23 |
216.252.238.18 | Russian State-Supported Cyber Actors Conduct Phishing Campaign Targeting Users of Zimbra Collaboration Suite | 2026-07-23 |
216.252.238.64 | Russian State-Supported Cyber Actors Conduct Phishing Campaign Targeting Users of Zimbra Collaboration Suite | 2026-07-23 |
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
