Summary
Worldline
enterprise payments legacy
WORLDLINE is Worldline SA, the European payments and transactional-services company. It grew up inside Atos, was floated in 2014 and fully separated in 2019, and is one of the largest payment processors in Europe.
What it's used for
Production infrastructure for payment processing and transactional services, not connectivity. The AS announces a long list of /24s carved almost entirely out of the legacy 160.92.0.0/16 block, plus a few 193.x and 89.106.x prefixes.
The reverse DNS is the whole story:
ssl-prd-h0b-fo-hub-as-sticky-scl.ita.as8677.net— a production (prd) TLS front-end with load-balancer stickiness. This is application infrastructure, named by an operations team, not a network with customers.outside-front-ccbc-deviacc.aw.atos.net— an outward-facing front-end still in the Atos domain.sw-core.axime.com,flmd02.axime.com,disp03-113.axime.com— switches and servers underaxime.com.
Notable
Axime is corporate archaeology. It was a French IT services group that merged with Sligos in 1997 to form Atos; Worldline is the descendant of that lineage's payments business. The domain has outlived two rounds of renaming and is still stamped on live production hosts, decades later.
Interesting
The mix of atos.net, axime.com and as8677.net naming inside one address estate is a good illustration of why reverse DNS beats a registry name: the holder field says "Worldline", but the machines remember every company this network used to belong to. The space carries a single enterprise's own systems, so it should not be read as hosting or as an ISP footprint.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
