Summary

Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office

United Kingdom · AI-generated

government diplomatic uk

BZ is the autonomous system for the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.

What it's used for

  • The space carries government diplomatic traffic, identified by the registrant Foreign and Commonwealth Office and netname UK-ORG-20130404.
  • The AS announces a single IPv4 prefix, 185.22.224.0/22, comprising 1024 addresses, with 2 observed neighbours, indicating a small, self-contained government network.
  • Traffic consists of diplomatic, consular, and development work communications for the UK government's foreign affairs ministry.

Notable

  • The registrant Foreign and Commonwealth Office aligns with the announcer, though the organization has since merged into the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).
  • The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) was merged with the Department for International Development to form the FCDO on 2 September 2020.
  • The address inventory consists of a single /22 block, representing a compact internal estate for a central government department.

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 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
