Summary

ArCa

Armenia · AI-generated

payment business armenia

ARCA is operated by Armenian Card (ArCa) CJSC.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries corporate infrastructure for an Armenian payment processor, evidenced by netnames UCOM-ARCA and ARCA and reverse DNS entries like host-64.208.157.37.ucom.am and 91.199.226.64.arca.am.
  • The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes with 3 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with a small business network rather than a transit or large access provider.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of internal corporate endpoints and payment processing infrastructure for ArCa, a major Armenian card issuer and payment processor.

Notable

  • Registrants align with the announcer, with Ucom CJSC listed for the UCOM-ARCA netname and Armenian Card (ArCa) CJSC for the ARCA netname.
  • The address inventory is compact, consisting of two /24 blocks, one of which is registered under Ucom, suggesting a specific relationship or lease arrangement with the local telecom provider.

Reputation

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
