Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Metcash Trading Ltd
enterprise legacy
Autonomous System 4825 (FAL-AS-AP) is held by Metcash Trading Ltd, the Australian wholesale distributor behind the IGA supermarket network and a range of liquor and hardware brands.
What it's used for
- Corporate network infrastructure. The registration describes it plainly as "Metcash Network Infrastructure": links between distribution centres, offices and the retail systems Metcash runs for its independent grocers.
Notable
- An enterprise AS, not a service-provider one: the address space serves one company's internal and business systems rather than customers buying connectivity.
- The
FALhandle is older than the current holder. It preserves the name of Foodland Associated Limited, the Western Australian wholesaler whose Australian business Metcash absorbed in the mid-2000s. The AS name outlived the company, as network handles often do.

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: 447 networks and 1,845 prefixes, as published 2026-10-31. 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.
