Summary
Tencent Cloud
cloud social gaming
A Tencent network (TENCENT-NET-AP, Shenzhen Tencent) — carrying Tencent Cloud and Tencent's own services, one of China's biggest internet companies.
What it's used for
- Tencent Cloud customer workloads and Tencent's own products — WeChat/Weixin, QQ, and a large games portfolio.
Notable
- Tencent is both a hyperscale cloud and the operator of China's dominant messaging/social platform, so this space mixes cloud tenants and first-party services.
- One of several Tencent ASNs (see also AS132203).
Interesting
- WeChat's role as an all-in-one app in China means an enormous share of Chinese internet activity touches Tencent infrastructure.

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: 442 networks and 1,773 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
3 IC3 indicators addresses in this network appear in FBI IC3 cybersecurity advisories.
| Prefix | Advisory | Published |
|---|---|---|
106.53.181.231 | Chinese Government-linked Cyber Threat Actors Combine Automated and Hands-on Hacking Tools to Steal Sensitive Data | 2026-10-08 |
162.14.178.86 | Chinese Government-linked Cyber Threat Actors Combine Automated and Hands-on Hacking Tools to Steal Sensitive Data | 2026-10-08 |
101.35.24.222 | China-Linked Hacking Group QTFY Targets Military and Critical Infrastructure with Malicious Distributed Systems | 2026-08-26 |
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
