Russian Bot Activity Collapses 84% After Yandex Data Center Strikes
Original: Russian Bot Activity Collapses by 84% After Strikes on Yandex Data Centers
Ukraine's Center for Countering Disinformation reports that Russian bot activity online dropped by 84% following Ukrainian strikes on Yandex data centers. The agency's analytical report suggests a large share of coordinated pro-Kremlin bot operations relied on infrastructure hosted in those facilities, and their disruption significantly degraded automated disinformation and manipulation activity across platforms.
Why now: Ukraine published an analytical report quantifying how strikes on Yandex infrastructure sharply reduced Russian bot activity, prompting discussion of bots' reliance on commercial data centers.
