Reputation · trust score
A transparent 0–100 signal. Every entity starts at a neutral baseline of 65; threat-intel blocklists, exposure, reverse-DNS, routing and allocation each adjust it up or down. Higher is more trustworthy.
- Baseline (neutral) 65

⚠ 6 MOAS prefixes — multiple origin ASNs detected
All MOAS anomalies →A previously stable prefix originated by AS4538 is now also announced by another ASN (MOAS — Multiple-Origin AS), detected from our RIPE RIS collectors. Often benign (anycast, multi-homing, or a recent transfer) — but it can signal a route leak or prefix hijack, so it's worth inspecting.
