Summary
Simple Information, Inc.
hosting isp legacy
AS9923 (AS-SIMPLE) is held by Simple Information, Inc., a Taipei-based network operator. Public information about the company is thin — its own site is not currently serving — so the useful evidence here is the routing and the reverse DNS, which between them sketch a small provider running both a cloud product and a consumer broadband brand.
What it's used for
RIS sees 5 IPv4 prefixes carrying 1,280 addresses, one IPv6 prefix (2001:df2:45c0::/47), and a single observed BGP neighbour. That is a very small inventory behind one upstream, so this is a provider serving its own customers, not a carrier.
The reverse DNS is where the business shows through, and it points three ways at once. Addresses in 36.50.249.0/24 resolve as 36-50-249-5.cloud.simple.taipei — the operator's own domain, with cloud in the name, so that block is a hosting or virtual-machine platform. Addresses in 160.30.98.0/24 resolve as 160-30-98-5.dynamic-ip.formosabroadband.net, a dynamic consumer access pool under a separate broadband brand. A third sampled address answers under lazco.tw. So a 1,280-address network is simultaneously carrying cloud instances and dynamically assigned broadband subscribers.
That combination — a cloud block and a dynamic-IP block in the same tiny ASN — is worth flagging for anyone using this network for geolocation or abuse attribution. The two populations behave completely differently and share one AS number.
Notable
- The v4 space is drawn from three unrelated parents (
36.50,160.30,163.128), and163.128.76.0is announced both as a/23and as a/24. - The company has been listed with a presence in Hong Kong as well as Taipei, so the footprint may not be Taiwan-only.

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: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-11-04. 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.
