PSA: No, Russian bot traffic has not significantly decreased. Only Yandex’s network is mostly silent, which doesn’t have a huge impact on automated requests from all of Russia. And neither has much to do with social media bots. Stop spreading this kind of misinformation. https:// radar.

In Germany, Ukraine, and the United States alike, strikes on Yandex data centers coincided with a sharp decline in bot traffic. And it's not just ordinary users noticing this — researchers are already reporting their initial findings. Similar patterns were observed with Iranian

📉 Bot traffic from Yandex's network has dropped to almost zero after an attack on a data center in Vladimir. This is the third attack on Yandex's data centers since October 8. Bot traffic is automatic requests to websites from programs — search crawlers, services, parsers.
