Russian Bot Activity Falls 84% After Yandex Data Center Strikes
Original: Russian Bot Activity Collapses by 84% After Strikes on Yandex Data Centers
Ukraine's Centre for Countering Disinformation reports that Russian bot activity dropped by 84% following strikes on Yandex data centers. The analytical report, 'When Bots Go Silent,' links the sharp decline in coordinated inauthentic activity to the damaged infrastructure, suggesting the servers were hosting or supporting large-scale bot networks used for propaganda and disinformation operations.
Why now: The striking statistical link between physical infrastructure damage and a collapse in bot activity offers rare evidence of how Russian disinformation operations depend on Yandex's server infrastructure.
