- We should note these are not even slightly legitimate hosting companies, lest anyone worry too much about their non-KYC offshore servers. These aren't hosting companies that ask little, they are just directly front companies for Russian intelligence, owned by members of Russian intelligence, they don't do anything else, they don't provide hosting service to regular people even if you want it (I have tried).
Unlike in Germany where I lost several social media accounts because my email service provider (pissmail) went to jail because someone signed up for his service and sent spam.
- I’ve been on the defender side of security my whole career.
I know in some markets crime pays more than legitimate work, but it never ceases to amaze me how much thought, effort, planning, and engineering goes into providing infrastructure IT services for cybercriminals. The people involved definitely have the skills to be profitable at legitimate work; it just puzzles me that they choose to support criminals.

- When I was learning some homelab stuff, and was setting up pfSense, I was able to see the geos of all that scans/attacks on my home internet. I was surprised to see that Netherlands was up there with Russian and China in volume. They all got geo blocked.
What is it about the Netherlands that makes them so attractive for these people?

- I'm I the only one that read "Neanderthal Seizes 800 Servers..."?
Would have loved to read that article.
- Those who are curious about notorious data centers, please see Cyberbunker [1]. I think conceptually it is cool. Also in the netherlands.

- > those sanctions failed to target Stark’s remaining connection to the Internet — an Internet service provider based in the Netherlands called MIRhosting.

- It would be nice if they named/prosecuted the people who paid them to perform the attacks.
- Maybe it's because I haven't had my coffee yet, but I swear my brain read: "Neanderthals Seize 800 Servers"

- After reading the article I am not sure what crime did they commit in the Netherlands.
