Logitec Corporation — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

A MAC address starting with 00:01:8E or 34:95:DB belongs to Logitec Corporation, a Japan-based networking and storage hardware vendor headquartered in Ina, Nagano. The two prefixes are separate IEEE MA-L blocks registered to the same company and address, and both are ordinary dedicated /24 allocations — neither is a shared IEEE base like 70:B3:D5, so no sub-allocation caveat applies to either block.

Logitec Corporation is frequently confused with Logitech International S.A., the Swiss/American peripherals maker known for mice and keyboards. The two are unrelated companies that merely share a near-identical name; even NVD's own CPE dictionary has mislabeled Logitec router CVEs under a "logitech" vendor string, a known data-quality collision rather than evidence the products belong to Logitech.

Logitec's product line runs SOHO wireless routers and access points alongside NAS storage units, confirmed via the vendor's own site (logitec.co.jp) and Japan's JVN vulnerability-coordination database, which names specific Logitec-developed router models by name. This is a substantive, verifiable vendor with two independent OUI assignments, not a bare single-OUI shell registration.

Several Logitec router models carry documented CVEs spanning 2012–2023, including remote admin-privilege escalation, CSRF, denial of service, and unauthenticated command execution, per NVD and JVN. The vendor has confirmed some of these products are end-of-life with no available patches. No credible source ties the Logitec brand or these OUI blocks to malware or botnet campaigns as of an August 2026 search.

Malware/botnet association

no credible source found as of an August 2026 search; general IoT-botnet literature reviewed names other brands and does not mention Logitec [Likely] — (no source found; negative finding)

Related vendors

none confirmed; not a subsidiary of, or affiliated with, Logitech International S.A. [Confirmed] — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logitech

Analyst note

two OUI blocks (00:01:8E, 34:95:DB) plus an active product line and named, CVE-documented router models establish Logitec Corporation as a substantive vendor distinct from Logitech; do not merge or confuse the two brands in downstream write-ups
