Yandex outage: malicious bots relocated rather than disappeared
Original: Yandex outage: data shows that instead of going dark, malicious bots moved
Cloudflare published an analysis of the recent Yandex outage, showing that malicious bot traffic did not vanish during the incident. Instead, data indicates the bots migrated elsewhere, continuing their activity from other sources. The finding suggests botnet operators actively rerouted their infrastructure rather than going offline, offering new insight into how large-scale bot networks respond to disruptions at major internet companies.
Why now: A major tech company's outage is being reinterpreted with new data showing bots adapted rather than stopped, which is notable for security researchers.
