Summary

Zain KSA

Saudi Arabia · AI-generated

mobile telecom residential saudi

MTC-KSA-AS is operated by Zain KSA (Mobile Telecommunication Company Saudi Arabia Joint-Stock company).

What it's used for

  • The address space carries mobile subscriber traffic, evidenced by netnames such as SA-MTC and SA-MTC-19960604 registered to the Mobile Telecommunication Company Saudi Arabia Joint-Stock company.
  • The AS announces 288,768 IPv4 addresses across 91 prefixes and 97 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 34 observed neighbours; this high address-to-neighbour ratio indicates an access network serving end-user devices rather than a transit provider.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of mobile voice, SMS, and data sessions for Zain KSA subscribers across Saudi Arabia.

Notable

  • All sampled registrants align with the announcer, consistently listing the Mobile Telecommunication Company Saudi Arabia Joint-Stock company.
  • The operator was formerly known as MTC KSA before rebranding to Zain KSA as part of the Zain Group's corporate identity change.
  • The inventory includes a mix of legacy allocations like 207.143.0.0/16 and 212.62.96.0/19 alongside newer blocks in the 51.36.0.0/16 and 51.39.0.0/16 ranges.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
