The Most Interesting Case: Krebs on Security – In-depth security news and investigation
What Happened, How Discovered, What Was the Damage
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 findings show 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.
How to Mitigate and Prevent It Next Time
To defend against such attacks, organizations must adopt a layered and proactive security posture:
- Implement Phishing-Resistant MFA.
- Comprehensive User Awareness Training.
- Real-time Threat Detection and Response (XDR/SIEM).
- Adopt a Zero Trust Architecture.
