Summary
Mediafax (EX MEDIA SA)
enterprise media legacy
ASN-MEDIAFAX is registered to EX MEDIA SA at the Bucharest address of Mediafax, Romania's best-known private news agency. It is a corporate network for a media group, not a service provider.
What it's used for
- The group's own infrastructure: web and mail hosting for its publications and wire services, plus office connectivity. Four
/24s in total — about 1,000 IPv4 addresses, no IPv6. - rDNS lands on
netivity.ro(genericIP-DASHED.netivity.rohosts and a nameserver) and onmpint.ro, where an entire /24 answersunassigned-reverse.mpint.ro— an unused block with a catch-all record.
Notable
- The four prefixes are registered to different Romanian companies — Mediafax Management SRL, Mediamex Investment SRL, Mira Consulting Plus SRL — which is the silhouette of an address broker. It is not one: every prefix carries the same two administrative and technical contacts, one of whom lists Mediafax SA as their organisation, and the registrant addresses cluster in the same Bucharest sectors. These are related companies inside one media group, not unrelated third parties.
- Nothing here is eyeball or commercial-hosting space; there are no subscriber pools and no downstream networks.
Interesting
- A whole /24 answering
unassigned-reverseis a small honesty signal in itself: the operator has bothered to say the block is empty rather than leaving it dark.

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 1,783 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.
