Summary
Abraxas Informatik AG
enterprise government legacy
ABXnet (AS9108) is the network of Abraxas Informatik AG, based in St. Gallen, Switzerland. Abraxas is one of the largest providers of end-to-end IT solutions for the Swiss public sector.
What it's used for
Abraxas builds and operates software and hosted services for cantonal and municipal governments and public authorities (tax and traffic departments, judiciary, occupational-training systems and ECM platforms), as well as for private companies. AS9108 announces four small IPv4 prefixes (~9k addresses) plus IPv6 with just a couple of observed neighbours, the footprint of a service provider running its own and its public-sector clients' systems rather than a transit carrier or eyeball ISP.
Notable
- Registered under RIPE since 2002; the
ABXnethandle is the company's own and does not collide with any famous unrelated name. - No PTRs were returned on the addresses sampled.
Interesting
Because the network primarily serves Swiss government and public-administration workloads, it sits at the boundary of enterprise IT and government service delivery; it is classified business for the operator, with a government tag reflecting the clientele.

Internet exchanges
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 2026-10-14, 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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
