New Zealand · AI-generated

government business nz

The AS handle MFAT-NET-NZ is held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries government traffic, identified by the netname MFAT-NET-NZ and registrant "Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade".
  • The inventory consists of 768 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes, with 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small, self-contained internal network rather than a transit or access provider.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of office workers and diplomatic staff accessing web services and internal applications for the New Zealand government's foreign affairs department.

Notable

  • Registrants for both announced prefixes agree with the announcer, listing "MFAT network administrator" and "Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade".
  • The address inventory is compact, comprising two contiguous blocks: 14.128.6.0/23 and 14.128.5.0/24.

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: 443 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
