US, UK, Australia Sanction Russian Web Hosts for Cybercrime
Update: 2025-11-19
Description
U.S., UK, and Australia impose sanctions on Russian and UK-based web hosting companies for aiding cybercriminals in launching ransomware attacks. Media Land, a Russia-based web host, and Hypercore, a UK-based company, are accused of providing services to notorious ransomware groups like LockBit, BlackSuit, and Play. These bulletproof hosting providers are known for their resistance to law enforcement actions, making them attractive to cybercriminals. The sanctions make it illegal for individuals and businesses in the U.S., UK, and Australia to conduct transactions with the sanctioned entities. In response, CISA and NSA released guidance to help organizations mitigate risks associated with bulletproof hosting providers and enhance their cybersecurity defenses.
