In recent days, a Ukrainian drone strike hit Russia’s largest data centre, owned by bank and technology company Sberbank. The strike came after Ukraine hit three data centres belonging to the tech giant Yandex, which is often referred to as “Russia’s Google”.
After those attacks, Yandex’s traffic dropped 94%. Its users experienced heavy disruption to features such as email, search, navigation, music, ride hailing, marketplace, and financial services.
