{"#text":" submitted by /u/ArgentineBeauty [link] [comments] ","@_type":"html"}
Ukraine hit a data center operated by the Russian tech giant Yandex. How vulnerable is Russia’s internet to further drone attacks?
Overnight on October 8, Ukrainian forces struck Yandex’s data center in Sasovo, in Russia’s Ryazan region, with drones, causing a fire. No one was injured, but the data center temporarily shut down completely. This disrupted some of Yandex’s own services, as well as those of companies that used the tech giant’s infrastructure in Sasovo.
Russia called its strikes on Ukrainian data centers a ‘forced digital detox.’ Zelensky says Kyiv has answered by hitting a data center belonging to Russian tech giant Yandex.
Ukraine is responding in kind to Russian strikes, including attacks on data centers, President Volodymyr Zelensky said. He was commenting on a Ukrainian strike on a Yandex data center in Russia’s Ryazan region, RBC-Ukraine reported.
