Image: FIOD.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Dutch daily news outlet <em>de Volkskrant<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.volkskrant.nl\/binnenland\/how-a-consultant-and-a-concert-pianist-from-the-netherlands-aided-pro-russian-hackers~b60acffb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reports<\/a> that the Dutch financial crime agency <strong>FIOD<\/strong> on May 18 arrested a 57-year-old from Amsterdam and a 39-year-old from The Hague, charging them with violating sanctions law by directly or indirectly making economic resources available to EU-sanctioned entities.<\/p>\n<p>The Dutch investigation focuses on Stark Industries, a sprawling hosting provider that materialized just two weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine. As detailed in <a href=\"https:\/\/krebsonsecurity.com\/2024\/05\/stark-industries-solutions-an-iron-hammer-in-the-cloud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this May 2024 deep-dive<\/a>, Stark quickly became the source of massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against European targets, and emerged as a top supplier of proxy and anonymity services that showed up time and again in cyberattacks linked to Russia-backed hacking groups.<\/p>\n<p>That report identified two Moldovan brothers \u2014 <strong>Ivan<\/strong> and <strong>Yuri Neculiti<\/strong> and their company <strong>PQHosting<\/strong> \u2014 who were providing one of Stark\u2019s two main conduits to the larger Internet. In May 2025, the EU sanctioned PQHosting and the Neculiti brothers for aiding Russia\u2019s hybrid warfare efforts. But as KrebsOnSecurity <a href=\"https:\/\/krebsonsecurity.com\/2025\/09\/bulletproof-host-stark-industries-evades-eu-sanctions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">observed in September 2025<\/a>, those sanctions failed to target Stark\u2019s remaining connection to the Internet \u2014 an Internet service provider based in the Netherlands called <strong>MIRhosting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>MIRhosting is operated by <strong>Andrey Nesterenko<\/strong>, a 39-year-old Russian native who runs the business out of the Netherlands.\u00a0 News that PQHosting and the Neculiti brothers were about to be sanctioned by the EU leaked in the media nearly two weeks before the sanctions were announced last year. During that time, the Stark network assets were transferred from PQHosting to a new entity called <strong>the[.]hosting<\/strong>, under the control of the Dutch entity <strong>WorkTitans BV<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>And as our September 2025 report showed, WorkTitans was controlled by Nesterenko and a 57-year-old from Amsterdam named <strong>Youssef Zinad<\/strong>. On top of that, WorkTitans was getting connectivity to the larger Internet solely through MIRhosting, where Zinad had worked previously.<\/p>\n<p>On May 18, Dutch financial crime investigators arrested Nesterenko and Zinad, and searched three businesses in Enschede and Almere and two data centers in Dronten and Schiphol-Rijk. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiod.nl\/fiod-houdt-twee-verdachten-aan-wegens-overtreding-sanctiewetgeving\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> from the Dutch authorities said they also seized laptops, telephones and more than 800 servers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_73695\" style=\"width: 758px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/krebsonsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/the-hosting-outage.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-73695\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-73695\" src=\"https:\/\/krebsonsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/the-hosting-outage.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/krebsonsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/the-hosting-outage.png 1542w, https:\/\/krebsonsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/the-hosting-outage-768x366.png 768w, https:\/\/krebsonsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/the-hosting-outage-1536x732.png 1536w, https:\/\/krebsonsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/the-hosting-outage-782x373.png 782w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-73695\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A message to the-hosting customers immediately after 800 of its servers were seized by Dutch authorities. The message says that unfortunately data stored on the server has been lost and cannot be recovered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>De Volkskrant said it reviewed data showing WorkTitans and MIRhosting were the most-used networks in pro-Russian attacks on Danish government bodies between November 13 and 19, 2025, the week of Denmark\u2019s municipal elections.<span id=\"more-73630\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The publication wrote that prior to Nesterenko\u2019s arrest, the MIRhosting founder denied that he knew his servers had been misused by pro-Russian cybercriminals. \u201cHe said he had ended all services with the Neculiti brothers when the EU sanctions came into force in May 2025,\u201d and the he \u201creserved all rights to take action against \u2018harmful and incorrect publications,\u201d de Volkskrant wrote.<\/p>\n<p>MIRhosting released <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/mirhosting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a statement<\/a> saying it has initiated an internal investigation into the alleged facts concerning the elections in Denmark, and that it has temporarily paused services to WorkTitans as a precautionary measure while the matter is being reviewed further.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on our preliminary findings, there are no indications that the services over which we exercise control were actually used to influence the Danish elections,\u201d the statement reads. \u201cNo anomalies or spikes were observed in our network traffic during the period mentioned in the publication; had large-scale DDoS attacks occurred, such activity would have been evident. Furthermore, prior to the media publication, we had not received any complaints, abuse reports, or official requests regarding suspicious activities or misuse of our network. Meanwhile, our regular operational activities continue, and our service to our other clients remains fully intact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Born in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, Mr. Nesterenko grew up as a piano prodigy who performed publicly at a young age. In 2004, Nesterenko founded MIRhosting\u2019s parent <strong>Innovation IT Solutions Corp.<\/strong>, which has the notable distinction of being the company responsible for hosting stopgeorgia[.]ru, a hacktivist website for organizing cyberattacks against Georgia that appeared at the same time Russian forces invaded the former Soviet nation in 2008. That conflict was thought to be the first war ever fought in which a notable cyberattack and an actual military engagement happened simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to questions shared via email, Nesterenko said MIRhosting does not support cybercrime, sanctions evasion, or illegal activity, and that the allegations and arrest by Dutch authorities have been extremely harmful to him and his company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe transition to the.hosting was not intended to evade sanctions,\u201d Nesterenko wrote. \u201cThe hardware and customer portfolio had already been transferred to WorkTitans before the sanctions appeared. Closing or damaging a legitimate Dutch infrastructure company will not stop cybercrime, but it will harm many people who have done nothing wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Far less is public about the 57-year-old Zinad, who reportedly has been keeping a low profile since our story last year. De Volkskrant reported that Zinad blocked access to his LinkedIn account, had gone months without responding to emails, WhatsApp messages and phone calls, and told a colleague that illness was forcing him to lead a somewhat more reclusive life.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_72178\" style=\"width: 759px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-72178\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-72178\" src=\"https:\/\/krebsonsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/zinad-mirhosting.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"749\" height=\"645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/krebsonsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/zinad-mirhosting.png 998w, https:\/\/krebsonsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/zinad-mirhosting-768x661.png 768w, https:\/\/krebsonsecurity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/zinad-mirhosting-782x673.png 782w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\"><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-72178\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mr. Zinad\u2019s now-defunct LinkedIn profile.

Nor did de Volkskrant have any luck tracking him down. The publication said it repeatedly asked Mr. Zinad (referred to here as simply \u201cZ\u201d), but he reportedly avoided every form of contact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018I am unavailable but will respond to your message as soon as possible,\u2019 reads an automated reply on WhatsApp on 2 October 2025,\u201d de Volkskrant reported. \u201cIt is the only response de Volkskrant would receive in months. He did not pick up his phone and did not call back. When an acquaintance asked him via LinkedIn to contact the reporter, he blocked access to his LinkedIn page. At an address in Almere where Z.\u2019s personal limited company is registered, no one was present in April. The corner house\u2019s blinds were drawn, and a pile of rubbish bags lay outside next to a container, as if someone had recently left.
