What it means to see AS28381 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS28381. That means the other end sits on the Grupo Hidalguense de Desarrollo, S.A. de C.V. network (Mexico). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
