Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Alma Media (Almaty)
legacy
ALMA-MEDIA-ALMATY-AS is a small network in Almaty, Kazakhstan. It announces a single /24 (195.49.208.0/24, netname ALMA-MEDIA-NET) behind one upstream, and the current registrant on the object is an individual, not a company.
What it's used for
- Hard to say honestly, and the card does not pretend otherwise. The AS carries 256 addresses, has no reverse DNS at all on them, and shows a single upstream.
- The registry remarks list peering at KAZ-IX and with a few local Kazakh networks, which is the profile of a small local operator, but there is no observable service behind the addresses to confirm what they carry today.
Notable
- Do not confuse this with Alma TV. The similar-looking Alma Telecommunications Kazakhstan (the "Alma+" cable and internet operator in Almaty) is a different, much larger company on a different autonomous system. It is also unrelated to the Finnish media group of the same name.
- With one
/24, no rDNS and an individual as registrant, there is not enough evidence to place this in any kind bucket. It is left unclassified rather than guessed at, and its addresses should not be attributed to any particular service.
Interesting
- The registry object still carries a hand-written remarks block listing upstreams and peering partners — a style of documentation that was normal in the 1990s RIPE database and is now rare.

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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-23. 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.
