Summary
VK
business social media cloud
VK-AS is operated by VK.
What it's used for
- The address space carries infrastructure for VK's digital services, evidenced by netnames like
RU-ODNOKLASSNIKI-20100830andRU-NETBRIDGE-20081230, and reverse DNS entries such asjira-new-vip.mail.ru. - With 136,192 IPv4 addresses across 101 prefixes and 52 observed neighbours, the network functions as a large-scale content delivery and service platform rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web and API endpoints for social media (VKontakte, Odnoklassniki), email (Mail.ru), and cloud infrastructure supporting VK's consumer and enterprise products.
Notable
- Registrants consistently identify as
LLC VKwith administrative contactsVK ADMandVK NOC, aligning with the AS holder. - VK was formerly known as Mail.Ru Group, a rebranding that reflects the consolidation of its social media and email assets under a single corporate identity.
- The inventory includes diverse prefix ranges, some dating back to the 1990s (e.g.,
138.16.192.0/20), indicating a long-standing and expanded address estate.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
