Dyson Limited — 3 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Dyson is registered to MAC prefix
44:6F:F8and 2 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with44:6F:F8, that block was registered by Dyson — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Three distinct MA-L OUI blocks plus identifiable device/app context establish company substance beyond a bare single-OUI registration, meeting the bar to finalize this vendor entry.
About this vendor.
A MAC address starting 44:6F:F8, C8:FF:77, or C0:AF:F2 belongs to Dyson Limited, typically seen on WiFi-connected Dyson consumer appliances — air purifiers and fans in the Pure Cool line, plus heaters — paired with the MyDyson/Dyson Link app.
The IEEE OUI registry lists three MA-L (24-bit) registrations for Dyson Limited, all under the same UK registered-office address: Tetbury Hill, Malmesbury, Wiltshire, GB SN16 0RP. That address is independently corroborated by third-party UK business listings, not just the IEEE filing itself.
IEEE's public OUI data does not publish an assignment or registration date for any of the three blocks. Any "date registered" shown by a third-party MAC-lookup tool is a database artifact of that tool, not an IEEE fact, and should not be attributed to IEEE.
Setup and troubleshooting guides for Dyson's connected devices have owners enter the unit's printed MAC address during app pairing, and that address needs allowlisting on networks with MAC filtering enabled. No publicized CVE-level or named vulnerability specific to Dyson's WiFi-connected devices turned up; Dyson runs a formal, monitored vulnerability-disclosure channel.
- IEEE assignment
- 3 prefixes → Dyson Limited, registered Tetbury Hill, Malmesbury, Wiltshire, GB SN16 0RP [Confirmed] — IEEE OUI Registry (the IEEE MA-L registry, lines 16870, 19371, 31240)
- Registry / block size
- MA-L (24-bit OUI); 3 IEEE prefixes [Confirmed] — IEEE OUI Registry (the IEEE MA-L registry). NOTE: IEEE's public OUI data publishes NO assignment/registration date; any "date registered" on third-party tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.

- Registration dates
- Unknown — IEEE OUI registry does not track or publish MAC prefix registration dates [Confirmed] — IEEE OUI Registry documentation
- Security context
- no publicized CVE-level or named vulnerability specific to Dyson WiFi-connected devices found; Dyson maintains a formal vulnerability-disclosure channel [Unknown] — dyson.co.uk/support/reporting-data-security-issues
- Third-party risk score caveat
- a third-party aggregator (Rankiteo) publishes a proprietary "Cyber Risk Score" for Dyson; not treated as authoritative (opaque methodology, not a primary disclosure) and not cited as fact [Unknown]
- Analyst note
- company substance for this vendor rests on 3 distinct MA-L OUI blocks under one identifiable global consumer-electronics company with verifiable WiFi-device/app context — this clears the bar to finalize rather than treat as a bare single-OUI shell.
