Summary
Riscom S.A.
isp legacy
Riscom S.A. (AS8474) is an internet service provider in Chișinău, Moldova, operating on the riscom.net domain. It is one of the country's longer-standing independent operators.
What it's used for
- Internet access and fixed-line telephony for customers in Chișinău and the surrounding area; the company states it operates only within Moldova.
- Hosting for the provider's own web, mail and DNS services.
Notable
- A small network by any measure: seven contiguous
/24s (about 1,800 IPv4 addresses) in195.138.96.0/21, a single upstream and no downstream customers. - Reverse DNS follows a plain
NN-NN-NNN-NNN.riscom.netpattern across the whole range, so the space is clearly the operator's own rather than third-party address stock.
Interesting
- The AS is registered in Moldova, but Riscom's contiguous
195.138.96.0/21block and its low AS number both date to an era when a national ISP could be numbered out of a single RIPE/21.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
