Ukraine drone strikes sharply cut Yandex bot traffic overnight
Original: Yandex bot traffic nearly eliminated overnight after Ukraine drone strikes
Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian data centres, including facilities used by Yandex and Google infrastructure in Russia, reportedly crippled servers and led to a near-overnight collapse in bot traffic associated with Yandex. The strikes follow Moscow's attacks on Kyiv's data centre infrastructure, with Ukraine intensifying its bombing campaign in response. Observers note the disruption shows how physical attacks on data centres can instantly affect online activity and automated traffic.
Why now: The strikes demonstrated a direct link between physical attacks on data centres and the sudden collapse of Russian bot traffic.
