Summary
Lloyds Banking Group
enterprise finance legacy
LBG_INTERNET_EDGE is exactly what the handle says: the internet edge of Lloyds Banking Group PLC, the British bank behind Lloyds Bank, Halifax, Bank of Scotland and Scottish Widows. It is a corporate network, not a service provider.
What it's used for
- Publishing and protecting the group's own internet-facing estate: online and mobile banking front ends, corporate sites, and the connectivity behind them. The AS exists so the bank can multi-home its own edge rather than depend on a single carrier's addressing.
- Every prefix it announces comes out of a single legacy
141.92.0.0/16, registeredLLOYDSBANKas provider-independent space. The many/24s and/20s in the table are just that/16sliced up for traffic engineering.
Notable
- Enterprise address space. Nothing here is subscriber or hosting space, and nothing is sold to third parties. An address in this range belongs to the bank.
- Reverse DNS is essentially absent, which is deliberate and normal for a financial institution's edge: there is no operational reason to name the hosts publicly, and a good security reason not to.
- Only a handful of BGP neighbours, all upstream carriers. A network that takes transit and provides none is a stub, and a bank's edge is the textbook example.
Interesting
- The
141.92.0.0/16is legacy space out of the old141/8block, and the bank holds the whole/16as provider-independent addressing. Announcing 40,000-odd addresses out of it while keeping the rest unrouted is comfortably within what a large institution's edge looks like: the space is a strategic asset, not a utilisation target.

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 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
