(Pierluigi Paganini – Security Affairs) Dutch financial crime investigators arrested two men and seized 800 servers connected to Stark Industries, a hosting provider accused of enabling cyberattacks, interference operations, and disinformation campaigns. Authorities said the suspects supported Russian and Belarusian entities under EU sanctions. Investigators launched the probe into the company, founded shortly before Russia invaded Ukraine. Authorities searched three business premises in Enschede and Almere, along with two data centers in Dronten and Schiphol-Rijk, seizing administrative records, laptops, phones, and more than 800 servers. “The criminal investigation focuses on a web hosting company that was established on February 10, 2022, two weeks before the Russian invasion of Ukraine.” reads the press release published by Dutch FIOD. “In the years that followed, this company was used, among other things, to facilitate destabilizing activities directed against the European Union, including interference, cyberattacks, and the dissemination of disinformation.” – Dutch authorities dismantle hosting network allegedly used for cyberattacks and disinformation
