AS761

AS761 is a dormant Finnish ASN registered to Seinäjoen Tietoraitti Oy that announces zero IPv4 and zero IPv6 prefixes today, even though the RIPE registry record still lists its status as Active. The gap between registry status and real-world activity is the key triage fact for this entry.

RIPE's RDAP autnum record shows AS761 (TIETORAITTI-AS) was registered on 2002-08-21 and last changed on 2017-11-15. Finland's official Trade Register (PRH), however, shows the registrant company, Seinäjoen Tietoraitti Oy (business ID 0791825-2), legally ceased operating on 2007-01-08 — nearly a decade before the ASN's last registry update. That combination points to a stale, orphaned ASN registration outliving its dissolved holder rather than an active network.

Routing data across RIPEstat, CAIDA ASRank, and third-party mirrors (bgp.he.net, bgp.tools) agree unanimously: zero announced IPv4 or IPv6 prefixes, zero observed BGP peers (0 of 330 sampled IPv4 RIS collectors, 0 of 323 IPv6), zero upstreams, zero customers, and a customer cone of just the ASN itself.

CAIDA ranks it 79,459 out of the global table, near the bottom. No PeeringDB record exists for AS761, so no peering policy can be confirmed. The operator's old domain, tietoraitti.fi, no longer belongs to it and now resolves to an unrelated content site.

Operator

Seinäjoen Tietoraitti Oy (business ID 0791825-2), Seinäjoki, Finland [Confirmed] — https://rdap.db.ripe.net/autnum/761, https://avoindata.prh.fi/opendata-ytj-api/v3/companies?name=Sein%C3%A4joen%20Tietoraitti

Country / RIR

Finland (FI), RIPE NCC [Confirmed] — RDAP registrant address "SF-60101 Seinajoki FI"; https://rdap.db.ripe.net/autnum/761

Allocated

2002-08-21 (RIPE RDAP autnum TOP-LEVEL "registration" event, timestamp 2002-08-21T16:06:15Z); last changed 2017-11-15 [Confirmed] — https://rdap.db.ripe.net/autnum/761 (corroborated by bgp.he.net's "created" field, same timestamp)

Org status

registrant company Seinäjoen Tietoraitti Oy legally ceased/dissolved 2007-01-08 per Finland's official business register (PRH); the RIPE ASN record itself still shows status "Active" (last changed 2017-11-15) — an apparent stale/orphaned registry record outliving its registrant [Confirmed] — https://avoindata.prh.fi/opendata-ytj-api/v3/companies?name=Sein%C3%A4joen%20Tietoraitti, https://rdap.db.ripe.net/autnum/761

Contacts

present in the registry but stale — the administrative and technical contact on record is the RIPE person object KV241-RIPE, registered to Seinäjoen Tietoraitti Oy, P.O. Box 147, SF-60101 Seinäjoki, FI, plus the registrant maintainer object ERX-AS761-MNT; however RIPEstat's abuse-contact-finder returns an empty array, so no abuse contact exists for AS761. A personal registry contact object surviving on a company that dissolved in 2007 is itself evidence for the orphaned-registration thesis. Historical domain tietoraitti.fi no longer belongs to the operator and now resolves to an unrelated WordPress content site [Confirmed] — https://rdap.db.ripe.net/autnum/761, https://stat.ripe.net/data/abuse-contact-finder/data.json?resource=761, https://tietoraitti.fi/

Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)

no notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-07-28 — not in RIPE RDAP remarks, ipinfo.io reputation flags, CAIDA ASRank profile, or NANOG mailing-list archives; Spamhaus ASN lookup could not be queried (HTTP 403), so that specific status is Unknown, not confirmed-clean [Likely] — https://ipinfo.io/AS761, https://asrank.caida.org/asns/761, https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=nanog%40nanog.org&q=AS761

Network & routing

Network type

historically an information-network / telecom services provider (Finnish Trade Register business line 72402, Tietoverkkopalvelut) [Confirmed] — https://avoindata.prh.fi/opendata-ytj-api/v3/companies?name=Sein%C3%A4joen%20Tietoraitti

Size

dormant — 0 IPv4 prefixes / 0 IPv4 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes announced; customer cone = 1 ASN (itself), 0 prefixes, 0 addresses [Confirmed] — RIPEstat routing-status / CAIDA ASRank / bgp.he.net / bgp.tools (2026-07)

Routing/peering

NOT announced — 0 of 330 sampled IPv4 RIS peers and 0 of 323 IPv6 RIS peers observe it; CAIDA degree total 0 (customer 0, peer 0, provider 0); no PeeringDB record exists, so peering policy is Unknown [Confirmed] — RIPEstat routing-status, CAIDA ASRank API, https://www.peeringdb.com/net/AS761

RPKI

not assessable — AS761 announces no prefixes, so there are no ROAs to validate [Unknown] — RIPEstat rpki-validation call was skipped for lack of an announced prefix

Notable usage

Unknown / none found; third-party BGP toolkit shows 0 prefixes announced and 0 peers currently observed, consistent with a network that ceased operating [Likely] — https://bgp.he.net/AS761

Related ASNs

none identified [Unknown]

Analyst note

Encountered as a dormant, likely orphaned ASN — the registrant company dissolved in 2007 per Finland's official trade register, yet the RIPE record still reads Active and still carries a named personal contact object (KV241-RIPE) with no corresponding abuse contact in RIPEstat. No live routing, no PeeringDB presence, no confirmed abuse signal (Spamhaus unverified due to a 403). Good candidate for an "org status: defunct, registry record stale" framing rather than treating it as a live operator.
