Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Vivacom Bulgaria EAD (ex-Mobikom)
enterprise isp legacy
MOBIKOM Mobikom Internet Department is a stale handle on a live network. The AS is held today by Vivacom Bulgaria EAD, the Bulgarian national incumbent — the company known as Bulgarian Telecommunications Company (BTC) until its September 2022 rename. Mobikom itself is long gone.
What it's used for
Despite the handle, this is not a mobile network. Mobikom was Bulgaria's NMT analogue mobile operator, a 1992 joint venture between Cable & Wireless, BTC and Radioelectronic Systems. It was killed off by GSM and shut down in 2008. The AS survived the operator and was absorbed into BTC's estate.
What it carries now is a small block of fixed business assignments: about 1,790 IPv4 addresses across seven scattered /24s, with only two observed BGP neighbours. The sampled reverse DNS is Vivacom's generic incumbent naming — A-B-C-D.ip.btc-net.bg, still on the old BTC domain — alongside named third-party hosts such as bnbank.org (a bank) and router-btc-213.sts.bg (a customer's edge router). There are no dsl, pppoe, dyn or pool labels, and no mobile or GPRS naming anywhere.
Notable
- The name is a double trap. A keyword read of
Mobikom … Internet Departmentfiles this asmobile; it is neither mobile nor a distinct operator. Vivacom's actual eyeball and mobile networks are numbered elsewhere. - The rDNS is a small time capsule: an AS named for an operator dead since 2008, serving addresses under a corporate domain (
btc-net.bg) retired as a brand in 2022.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-11, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 432 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.
