Summary
Space Hellas
business enterprise legacy
SPACE_HELLAS_AS8499 is operated by Space Hellas S.A., an Athens-headquartered systems integrator and ICT/security solutions provider founded in 1985 and listed on the Athens Stock Exchange. The AS carries the company's own infrastructure and the managed services it runs for Greek corporate and public-sector customers.
What it's used for
- Managed network, cloud and security services delivered to enterprise clients, plus Space Hellas's own corporate and NOC infrastructure.
- Hosting of service platforms for customers — observed reverse names include authoritative nameservers and a collaboration/file-sharing host for a customer domain.
Notable
- The whole network sits inside one contiguous early-RIPE block,
195.190.32.0/19, deaggregated into /24s (about 8k addresses). No IPv6 is announced. - Reverse DNS is sparse and, where present, points at service and nameserver hosts under
spacenet.gr— the group's service brand. There are no subscriber pools, so this is an integrator/managed-services network rather than a consumer ISP, despite Space Hellas holding a telecom licence. - The AS number and the
195.190/19allocation both date from the early days of RIPE address assignment, consistent with a company that was one of Greece's earliest network operators.

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 1,778 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
