Bulletproof Host Stark Industries Evades EU Sanctions In May 2025, the European Union levied financial sanctions on the owners of Stark Industries Solutions Ltd., a bulletproof hosting provider that materialized two weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine and quickly became a top source of Kremlin-linked cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns. But new data shows those sanctions have done little to stop Stark from simply rebranding and transferring their assets to other corporate entities controlled by its original hosting providers.

6/ Just nine days after sanctions, PQ Hosting rebranded as The[.]Hosting, shifting assets under Dutch company WorkTitans B.V. Weeks later, the network consolidated further with the creation of a new ASN, #AS209847 - THE, and further transfer of #StarkIndustries resources.
