New, by me:
Authorities in the Netherlands have arrested the co-owners of two related Internet hosting companies for operating IT infrastructure used by Russia to carry out cyberattacks, influence operations and disinformation campaigns inside the European Union. The two men were the focus of a 2025 KrebsOnSecurity story about how their hosting companies had assumed control over the technical infrastructure of Stark Industries Solutions, an Internet service provider sanctioned last year by the EU as a frequent staging ground for cyber mischief from Russia’s intelligence agencies.

@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk Thanks. Yes, although I would not be surprised to see them wriggle out of this effort as well. If that happens, I'm looking forward to writing about it again

@briankrebs Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant did a writeup where your name was mentioned, looking forward to reading your take
(That may sound silly given your most recent linked blog is from late 2025 but haven’t read them yet)

@briankrebs While the arrests in the Netherlands are good news, it is disappointing to see the Neculiți brothers once again weasel their way out of accountability.
