Dutch Raid on Russian Bulletproof Hosting Provider THE.Hosting

Dutch law enforcement conducted a raid targeting THE.Hosting, a Russian bulletproof hosting provider, seizing 800 servers and arresting two of its operators. Despite the operation, the provider’s core IP address space remained intact, allowing continued operations. The action was aimed at disrupting cybercriminal infrastructure but did not fully dismantle the hosting service. No specific dates for the raid or technical details about the seized hardware were disclosed. The impact included temporary disruption but left the underlying infrastructure largely unaffected.
