Summary

Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer

United States of America · AI-generated

business newspaper enterprise

The AS handle OMI-ASN is held by Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer.

What it's used for

  • The space carries business traffic for a local newspaper, evidenced by the netname MSSN-173-197-235-0 and registrant Messenger Inquirer.
  • The network announces 256 IPv4 addresses across 1 prefix with 2 observed neighbours, indicating a small, self-contained corporate estate rather than a transit or access provider.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of office workers, web endpoints, and internal systems for the newspaper's operations in Owensboro, Kentucky.

Notable

  • The registrant Messenger Inquirer aligns directly with the announcer Owensboro Messenger Inquirer.
  • The address inventory is a single /24 block, which is typical for a small local business or media outlet requiring a dedicated public IP range for its infrastructure.

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: 448 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. 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.
