Cogent's AS174 network flagged in security scan from Englewood
Original: ASN: AS174 Location: Englewood, US Added: 2026-10-02T15:58 # shodansafari # infosec
A cybersecurity observer has highlighted AS174, the autonomous system operated by Cogent Communications, listing its registration location as Englewood, Colorado, in a Shodan-based lookup shared within the infosec community. The notation, tagged under a Shodan exploration trend, points to renewed interest in scanning and mapping internet-exposed infrastructure on major carrier networks as of early October 2026.
Why now: Security researchers are actively sharing Shodan scans of exposed services on large networks, and AS174 is one of the biggest transit providers.
