Netherlands Seizes 800 Servers, Arrests 2 for Aiding Cyberattacks

Dutch authoritiesarrested Andrey Nesterenko and Youssef Zinad, co‑owners of MIRhosting and WorkTitans BV , after seizing 800 servers and other equipment in raids on Enschede, Almere, Dronten and Schiphol‑Rijk, accusing them of violating EU sanctions by providing infrastructure that facilitated Russian‑linked cyber‑attacks, DDoS campaigns and disinformation operations across the EU; the case stems from a 2025 investigation into Stark Industries Solutions , a hosting provider previously sanctioned by the EU for aiding Russia’s hybrid warfare, whose network assets were transferred to WorkTitans after the sanctions, and the arrests follow earlier sanctions of the Moldovan brothers Ivan and Yuri Neculiti and their firm PQHosting.

IBM Spins Off the First Pure-Play Quantum Chip Foundry

The U.S. Department of Commerce and IBM announced a $2 billion initiative to establish Anderon, America's first pure-play quantum chip foundry in Albany, New York. Funded by $1 billion from the CHIPS Act and $1 billion from IBM, Anderon will operate a 300mm superconducting silicon wafer fabrication facility, positioning the U.S. at the forefront of quantum manufacturing. This move prioritizes superconducting silicon technology, leveraging established semiconductor processes for scalable, rapid iteration—a strategic advantage over smaller 200mm alternatives. The funding structure creates a two-tier quantum ecosystem, concentrating infrastructure capital on fabrication-ready modalities while offering smaller equity stakes to other approaches. IBM's focus extends beyond qubit production, including four ASICs aimed at scalable quantum control systems, critical for fault-tolerant computing by 2029. The package risks favoring one modality but aligns with industry consolidation needs, targeting $3 million in sales by the mid-2030s. Other funded companies include GlobalFoundries, D-Wave, and Rigetti, each receiving smaller portions for R&D.
