Summary
European Commission
government corporate eu internal
EC-AS is the autonomous system for the European Commission.
What it's used for
- The address space carries internal corporate infrastructure, evidenced by netnames such as
CECNET1-158-166-class-BandCECNET5-147-67-class-Bregistered toDIGIT-C4-RIPE-AdministrationandDIGIT-C4-RIPE-Operation. - The AS announces 327680 IPv4 addresses across 30 prefixes and 24 IPv6 prefixes, with only 2 observed neighbours, indicating a self-contained internal network rather than a transit or access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of internal communications, web services, and administrative endpoints for the European Commission's offices in Brussels and Luxembourg.
Notable
- All registrants align with the announcer, listing
European CommissionalongsideDIGIT-C4-RIPE-AdministrationandDIGIT-C4-RIPE-Operationfor all major prefixes. - The inventory is finely subdivided into multiple /16, /17, /18, and smaller blocks, reflecting site-by-site segmentation of the Commission's internal estate.

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.
