AS4980 NO - Whole Sale
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Morris & Dickson
enterprise legacy
AS4980 is registered to an ARIN organisation recorded as "Whole Sale" in Shreveport, Louisiana, with contacts on the morrisdickson.com domain, identifying it as the network of Morris & Dickson Co., a family-owned pharmaceutical wholesale distributor.
What it's used for
A single /24 supporting the company's own business: the ordering, inventory and distribution systems behind drug wholesaling to pharmacies and hospitals across the US South. It is an enterprise network with no public service component.
Notable
Despite the low AS number, the ARIN registration is modern (2009), so the number was reissued rather than held from the early internet. The NO AS name and the terse "Whole Sale" organisation string are a small case study in how little effort some registrants put into their registry records, and why you should never classify a network from its handle alone.
Interesting
Morris & Dickson is one of the largest independent drug distributors in the United States, a sector otherwise dominated by three national giants. The network is a /24; the business moves billions of dollars of product.

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: 455 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-11-13. 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.
