Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
3 IC3 indicators addresses in this network appear in FBI IC3 cybersecurity advisories.
| Prefix | Advisory | Published |
|---|---|---|
188.42.253.16 | "First VPN Service" Used by Ransomware Actors to Compromise Systems | 2026-05-21 |
94.242.253.11 | "First VPN Service" Used by Ransomware Actors to Compromise Systems | 2026-05-21 |
94.242.253.13 | "First VPN Service" Used by Ransomware Actors to Compromise Systems | 2026-05-21 |
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
