Summary
USAA
enterprise legacy
USAA is the United Services Automobile Association, the San Antonio-based bank and insurance group serving US military members, veterans and their families. AS7838 is its corporate network.
What it's used for
- Public-facing infrastructure for USAA's banking, insurance and investment services, along with corporate connectivity and mail gateways.
- The space is USAA's own legacy ARIN allocation
167.24.0.0/16, registered in 1993, announced as a couple of dozen individual /24s rather than as the aggregate. It also announces198.148.150.0/24, a separate 1993 block registered asUSAASECNET. - There is no subscriber addressing and almost no public reverse DNS — the corporate pattern of an organisation that exposes only what it has to.
Notable
- This is enterprise financial-services space. A connection from
167.24.0.0/16is a USAA system or an employee behind the corporate network. It should never be treated as consumer or hosting address space. - Announcing a /16 as many discrete /24s is a common enterprise habit: it lets different services be steered to different upstreams without carrying the aggregate.
Interesting
- The
-Zsuffix on USAA's ARIN organisation handle is a legacy-cleanup artefact from ARIN's records tidying, not a sign that the allocation changed hands. The 1993 registration date is the real one, and it puts USAA among the earlier corporate arrivals on the internet.

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: 442 networks and 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
