German officials have shut down a criminal web hosting service that was operating out of a former NATO bunker, according to a report from The Associated Press.

According to the report, investigators tracked down a Dutch man who bought the bunker, based in western Germany, in 2013. The man had allegedly converted the bunker into a so-called “bulletproof” web hosting service, which was then used by illicit marketplaces for weed, synthetic drugs, and hacking tools.
