Summary

METRO Digital (METRO AG)

Germany · AI-generated

enterprise retail legacy

METRO Digital GmbH (MSYS), the in-house technology company of METRO AG, the German international wholesale and food-service group (Metro Cash & Carry, Makro). The AS carries METRO's corporate network.

What it's used for

  • Corporate IT for a global wholesaler: store and depot connectivity, back-office systems, and the digital products METRO Digital builds for METRO's operating countries.
  • The MSYS handle is a survivor of "Metro Systems", the group's former IT arm, which was rebranded METRO Digital.

Notable

  • The inventory is large but coherent: legacy 164.61.0.0/16 and 164.139.0.0/16 space alongside 194.99.0.0/16 blocks, all registered to the METRO group rather than to third parties.
  • No PTRs came back on the addresses sampled inside those prefixes, which is unremarkable for internal enterprise space (it is not evidence that the reverse zones are undelegated).

Interesting

  • METRO is a wholesaler rather than a consumer retailer in most markets, so this is enterprise and store-network address space, not a public-facing hosting or eyeball network. An IP here is far more likely to be a corporate device than a customer.

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: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
