Bulletproof Host Stark Industries Evades EU Sanctions
Summary: The European Union sanctioned Stark Industries Solutions and its Moldovan conduit PQ Hosting, along with owners Yuri and Ivan Neculiti, in May 2025 over links to Russia's hybrid warfare efforts. Recorded Future found Stark rebranded to the[.]hosting under Dutch entity WorkTitans BV on June 24, 2025, and moved address space to a new Moldovan company, PQ Hosting Plus S.R.L., after the brothers reportedly learned of the sanctions roughly 12 days early.
Key Takeaway: Recorded Future concluded the EU's sanctioning of Stark Industries was largely ineffective, with affiliated infrastructure remaining operational and services rapidly re-established under new branding and no significant or lasting disruption.
