Kinetic response to cyber attacks: Russian bot traffic has dropped dramatically in the past few days after Ukraine knocked out Yandex’s biggest data centers
www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

Russia's Yandex bot traffic nearly eliminated overnight after Ukraine drone strikes cripple multiple of 'Russia's Google' data centers — Ukraine intensifies bombing of Yandex data centers in response ...

The world is getting a break from Russian bots thanks to Kyiv.

And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services.

The backstory: Ukrainian drones struck a Yandex supercomputer facility in Vladimir, taking it out. Suddenly, bot activity in US social media fell by 49%, confirming suspicions that this was the site of a massive Russian influence operation targeting US social media—mostly targeting MAGA.

The Yandex datacenter in Vladimir received drone sanctions, and is currently being migrated to the cloud.

According to the Yandex status board, all Yandex services are completely unavailable in Russia.

Maybe targeting our datacenters was a bad idea. Enjoy your digital detox.📵
