Summary
- // analyst note
- Recently dormant CDN ASN. WHOIS resolves to Edgecast Inc. with Uplynk contacts, but live routing ceased 2026-05-06 after the Edgio CDN shutdown and EdgeCast asset sale. Three routing sources (bgp.he.net, RIPEstat, bgp.tools) agree on zero current announcements.
- // security note
- NEUTRAL/DATED: no notable public abuse attributing large-scale malicious operations to AS15133 as of 2026-06-25; not on Spamhaus DROP/ASN-DROP or LOTS Project.
About this ASN.
AS15133 is an ARIN-registered autonomous system long associated with the EdgeCast content delivery network. Its corporate lineage is unusually tangled: EdgeCast Networks launched the ASN, Verizon acquired the company in 2013 and rebranded it Verizon Digital Media Services, ownership passed through Oath/Verizon Media and Apollo Global Management/Yahoo, and in 2022 the CDN business merged into Limelight Networks to form Edgio. After Edgio filed for bankruptcy and wound down its CDN around January 2025, the EdgeCast technology assets were acquired by Parler Cloud Technologies (with some assets going to Encore Technologies). The ARIN registry still carries the org as "Edgecast Inc." (handle EDGEC-25, Los Angeles, CA), and the operational contacts now point at uplynk.com, the EdgeCast OTT/streaming subsidiary. The critical triage point for AS15133 is that it is no longer routing: every routing source consulted (bgp.he.net, RIPEstat, bgp.tools) agrees the ASN has not appeared in the global table since 2026-05-06, announcing zero IPv4 and zero IPv6 prefixes, consistent with the post-bankruptcy decommissioning. CAIDA ranks it near the bottom (AS rank ~20,435) with a singleton-class customer cone, and no RPKI ROAs cover its formerly originated prefixes. No notable public abuse signal attributes large-scale malicious operations to AS15133 itself — only incidental IP-level spam tracking and a single off-network domain-spoofing report — as expected for a large legitimate CDN that is now historical.

Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)
no notable public abuse attributing large-scale malicious operations to AS15133 as of 2026-06-25 — not on Spamhaus DROP/ASN-DROP, not in LOTS Project; only incidental IP-level spam tracking (CleanTalk) and one June-2024 edgecastcdn.net domain-spoofing report originating off-network; a bgp.he.net bogon-announcement flag is undated and likely a wind-down artifact
