Autonomous system
AS7233 YAHOO-
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Yahoo
hosting legacy
One of Yahoo's smaller autonomous systems, registered under the handle YAHOO-US to the company's Sunnyvale, California address. Yahoo's main production traffic rides other ASNs; AS7233 announces only a few narrow prefixes.
What it's used for
- Yahoo's own service and network infrastructure. Reverse DNS in the space resolves to
unknown.yahoo.comhosts behind Yahoo-operated edge routers (fy94.netnaming), so this is company-run datacentre and network address space, not third-party hosting or consumer access.
Notable
- Only two IPv4
/23s and two IPv6/48s are announced, out of98.136.0.0and209.131.48.0— a deliberately small slice of Yahoo's overall address holdings. - The ASN is a 1996 ARIN registration, from the period when Yahoo was still a young search and directory company.
Interesting
- The router names embed site codes such as
sjcandsva, the airport-style shorthand for Yahoo's San Jose and Sunnyvale facilities.

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 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-30. 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.
