Summary
Microsoft Corporation
cloud azure corporate
Microsoft's primary Autonomous System, carrying Azure, Microsoft 365, Outlook, Xbox Live, Bing, and Microsoft's corporate traffic.
What it's used for
- Hosting Azure cloud workloads and Microsoft's first-party services.
- Serving Windows Update, Office/Microsoft 365, Teams, and related endpoints.
Notable
- Like other hyperscalers, an IP here means Microsoft/Azure is the host; the actual application could be first-party or a customer's Azure deployment.
- Microsoft publishes its service IP ranges and endpoints (Azure IP ranges JSON, Microsoft 365 URL/IP lists) so firewalls can allow-list them precisely.
Interesting
- Microsoft operates one of the largest private wide-area backbones in the world to interconnect its Azure regions.

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.
1 DROP match Announced space overlapping the DROP prefix list.
| Announced | DROP entry | Record |
|---|---|---|
| 168.151.52.0/23 | 168.151.52.0/23 | SBL477400 |
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
2 IC3 indicators addresses in this network appear in FBI IC3 cybersecurity advisories.
| Prefix | Advisory | Published |
|---|---|---|
191.232.188.144 | Chinese Government-linked Cyber Threat Actors Combine Automated and Hands-on Hacking Tools to Steal Sensitive Data | 2026-10-08 |
156.23.19.18 | China-Linked Hacking Group QTFY Targets Military and Critical Infrastructure with Malicious Distributed Systems | 2026-08-26 |
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
