Unclassified ARIN
Summary
EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO Information Services)
enterprise legacy
The corporate network of EBSCO Publishing (EBSCOPUB), the library-research division of EBSCO Industries, based in Ipswich, Massachusetts.
What it's used for
- Enterprise networking for EBSCO's publishing and information-services business, the company behind the EBSCOhost research databases and discovery products used by libraries, schools, and universities.
- Announces
140.234.0.0/16and several more-specific/24s carved from it.
Notable
- The
140.234.0.0/16block is registered to EBSCO Industries, the Birmingham, Alabama parent company, and dates from the early 1990s — long before EBSCO's products moved to the public cloud. - This is a company network, not a hosting or transit provider: it is a stub AS with a single upstream and no downstream customers.
- EBSCO's customer-facing platforms (EBSCOhost, EBSCO Discovery) resolve into public cloud address space today, so this AS carries internal and corporate traffic rather than the product itself.

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: 454 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-09. 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.
