Hackers yesterday morning targeted the largest taxi service in Russia ordered all of its available taxis to the same address in Moscow, causing complete chaos.
Yandex Taxi, a Russian app that works in a similar way to Uber, had hundreds of its cars directed to Kutuzovsky Prospekt - a major road that runs east to west leading into the centre of the Russian capital.
The major road is rarely jammed, with vehicles being able to drive in any of the eight to ten lanes. However, yesterday, drivers spent about 40 minutes in traffic due to the fake pick-up orders.
