- The EU imposed financial sanctions on Stark Industries Solutions Ltd. in May 2025 for its role in Kremlin-linked cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns.
- Stark Industries rebranded to the[.]hosting under Dutch entity WorkTitans BV shortly before sanctions were announced, suggesting prior knowledge.
- Assets were transferred to PQ Hosting Plus S.R.L. in Moldova, linked to the original owners via reused contact details.
- MIRhosting, operated by Andrey Nesterenko, emerged as a new base for Stark Industries, with ties to past cyber warfare activities.
- WorkTitans BV, connected to MIRhosting through shared personnel and resources, facilitated Stark's continued operations post-sanctions.
- Evidence suggests the sanctions failed to disrupt Stark's operations significantly, with services quickly re-established under new entities.
