AS12654 Reseaux IP Europeens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC)

Overview of AS12654

Ownership and Operational Activity

AS12654 is owned by RIPE Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC). RIPE NCC is one of the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) responsible for allocating and managing IP addresses and Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) within Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Central Asia. The main operational activity of RIPE NCC, and thereby AS12654, includes providing technical and administrative support to facilitate the operation of the Internet globally.

Establishment of AS12654

AS12654 has been an active ASN for several years; however, specific establishment dates of ASNs are not typically public information. RIPE NCC itself was established in 1992, and AS12654 has been integral to its operation for much of its history.

Malicious Use of AS12654

While any network can potentially be misused by malicious actors such as hackers or spammers, there is no inherent vulnerability in AS12654 that would make it more susceptible to such activities. As with all networks, ongoing security measures are important to mitigate against unauthorized use. According to CleanTalk's blacklist database, which tracks spamming and hacking incidents, AS12654 has records of abuse. This indicates that at times, entities have potentially used this ASN for malicious intent. It is important to note that these incidents may be isolated and not directly indicative of the owner's operational practices.

Additional Details from CleanTalk

CleanTalk provides a platform to check various ASNs for reported spam or other types of network abuse. As of the last update available to me, you may find additional information and specific details about AS12654's reported activities on their website. However, it should be noted that the presence on such a list does not necessarily mean that the network owner endorses or ignores these activities; they might also be a victim of such abuses and actively working to resolve them.
