Summary
IDC Frontier
cloud hosting datacenter
IDC Frontier Inc., a Japanese datacenter and cloud provider. It is part of the SoftBank group (originally a Yahoo Japan / SoftBank company) and operates datacenters across Japan.
What it's used for
- Cloud compute, hosting, and colocation out of IDC Frontier's Japanese datacenters.
Notable
- An IP here identifies IDC Frontier as the host, not the operator of the hosted service.
- A well-established domestic Japanese provider rather than a global hyperscaler.
Interesting
- IDC Frontier grew out of Yahoo Japan's infrastructure arm and remains a significant sovereign-hosting option for Japanese enterprises.

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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
