Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Lotte Innovate (formerly Lotte Data Communication)
legacy enterprise hosting
AS9980 (LDCC-AS-KR) is held by LOTTE INNOVATE Co., Ltd., the IT services and systems-integration arm of South Korea's Lotte group, known until its recent rebrand as Lotte Data Communication Company — which is where the LDCC handle comes from. It sells system integration, system management, IT outsourcing and cloud services, primarily into the Lotte affiliates that span retail, hospitality, chemicals and finance.
What it's used for
The prefix list is the story. RIS sees 62 announced IPv4 prefixes carrying only 16,640 addresses, no IPv6, and just 2 observed BGP neighbours. Sixty-two prefixes for sixteen thousand addresses means the network is almost entirely /24s: a 61.110.96.0/22 and then a long list of individual /24s scattered across 202.30.x, 125.60.x, 203.251.x and 210.111.x.
That fragmentation is characteristic of a group IT company rather than a service provider. Blocks get assigned one at a time as affiliates, stores, distribution centres and hosted systems are onboarded, and each is announced separately because each was allocated separately. The two BGP neighbours confirm the role: this network buys transit and does not sell it. Read AS9980 as the corporate and data-centre network of the Lotte group's IT subsidiary — enterprise workloads and the systems it operates for its parent's affiliates, not a public hosting business or an eyeball network.
Notable
- The rebrand from Lotte Data Communication to Lotte Innovate means the registry name and the well-known handle no longer match; both refer to the same company.
- The complete absence of IPv6 is notable for a company selling cloud services in 2020s Korea.

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 2026-11-01, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Reputation
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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. 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.
