Unclassified APNIC
Summary
CRIF S.p.A.
enterprise finance legacy
CRIF-AS belongs to CRIF S.p.A., a Bologna-headquartered company that runs credit bureaus and sells business information, credit-risk analytics and decisioning software to banks and lenders. It operates internationally but the AS is registered and run from Italy.
What it's used for
CRIF's own service platform. The AS announces roughly 8,192 addresses in five prefixes, all carved out of a single contiguous 212.7.64.0/19 allocation, with only three observed neighbours. That is an end-site network: one legacy block, subdivided for the operator's own use, homed to a few carriers.
The reverse DNS is first-party and revealing: draas.vpns.crif.com names a DRaaS (disaster-recovery-as-a-service) endpoint reached over the company's VPN infrastructure. This is enterprise service delivery, not hosting sold to the public.
Notable
- A tidy, contiguous, single-RIR inventory. Everything comes from one
/19; nothing is assembled from third-party space. This is what a legitimate long-standing enterprise allocation looks like, and a useful contrast with the scattered multi-RIR blocks that signal address brokering. - CRIF handles credit data for lenders across Europe, so the space carries data feeds and customer-facing portals for financial institutions rather than general web hosting.
- Classified
business: an enterprise running its own network, even though the product it delivers over that network is a data service.

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 2026-10-18, 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: 442 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
