Yandex outage saw malicious bots surge rather than services go dark
Original: Yandex outage: data shows that instead of going dark, malicious bots went on the move https:// lemmy.zip/post/73257307
New data on a Yandex outage suggests the Russian tech giant's systems did not simply go dark during the incident. Instead, malicious bot activity reportedly spiked while normal services were down, raising questions about what caused the disruption and whether the outage was exploited. Details remain limited, with the finding circulating mainly in online tech and policy discussion communities.
Why now: A Yandex outage showing a spike in malicious bot activity rather than a simple downtime event is unusual and raises security concerns.
