Summary
The New York Times Company
enterprise legacy
TIMESNET — the corporate network of The New York Times Company, the New York-based news organisation.
What it's used for
- Enterprise networking for the newspaper and its digital operations: offices, newsroom systems, and company infrastructure.
- Announces around 1,800 IPv4 addresses, mostly
/24s out of170.149.0.0.
Notable
- A media company's own AS, not a publishing platform — the Times' reader-facing sites are largely served from CDNs and cloud providers, so this AS carries comparatively little of what the public sees.
- The ASN was registered with ARIN in April 1995, which puts the Times among the earlier corporate networks to take a number of its own.

Interconnection

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-30, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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 2026-10-30. 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.
