VKONTAKTE-MSK-CDN-AS is operated by VK.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries VK's front-end infrastructure, evidenced by netnames VKONTAKTE-FRONT and VK-FRONT and reverse DNS entries like srv128-204.vkontakte.ru and mail.ru.
  • The AS announces 1024 IPv4 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefix across 4 prefixes, while maintaining 20 observed neighbours; this ratio indicates a service provider or CDN role rather than a large access network.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of web and API endpoints for VK's social media platform and associated services, including mail infrastructure.

Notable

  • Registrants align with the announcer, listing Vkontakte Network Control Center (NCC), Vkontakte ADM, VK ADM, and VK NOC.
  • The address inventory is finely subdivided into three IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix, consistent with an internal corporate estate segmented by function or site.
  • The presence of mail.ru in reverse DNS reflects VK's ownership of the Mail.ru Group assets.

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.
