Unclassified APNIC
Summary
News Digital Media (News Corp Australia)
enterprise media legacy
NDMPL-AS-AP belongs to News Digital Media Pty Limited, the online arm of News Corp's Australian publishing business — the company behind news.com.au and the digital editions of its mastheads.
What it's used for
- Corporate and publishing infrastructure for News Corp Australia's digital properties. Reverse DNS across the range resolves under
news.com.au, and the registered contacts are the group's own network admins. - A publisher's network, not a service provider: no subscriber pools, no customer assignments.
Notable
- Announces essentially all of
165.69.0.0/16— a full Class B, about 65,000 addresses, held by a single media company. That is a large footprint for an enterprise and reflects an era when a /16 was an ordinary ask. - Consistent
ip-165-69-x-x.news.com.austyle reverse DNS across the block is what settles the identity: the space is used by the parent group, whatever the registered subsidiary name says.
Interesting
- The registrant name is a fossil. News Digital Media was the branding for News Limited's online division; the mastheads and the address space long outlived the org chart that named the AS.

Reputation
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: 448 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. 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.
