### [Yandex outage: Data shows that instead of going dark, malicious bots went on the move](https://yomu.fyi/post/yandex-outage-data-shows-that-instead-of-going-dark-malicious-bots-wen.md)

Reported drone strikes on Yandex data centers from October 7 to 11 caused network traffic to drop 99% below baseline for Yandex Search and 90% for Yandex.Cloud. Using Cloudflare Radar and Bot Management data, the analysis compared pre-event automation baselines with post-strike patterns on both ASNs. The Yandex Search ASN drop consisted almost entirely of verified search crawlers: 93.6% of its bot requests were verified, and 78.1% belonged to YandexBot. On Yandex.Cloud, vulnerability scanning fell 90% and plugin probing dropped 93%, but high-volume operations migrated to other Russian hosting providers, preserving identical JA4 fingerprints. Global bot traffic remained stable at 39.5%, demonstrating that malicious automation moves rather than disappears and that request behavior analysis is necessary to understand threats.

Cloudflare Radar was redesigned to make its real-time Internet data accessible to journalists, human rights advocates, and everyday users while preserving depth for network operators and researchers. The previous landing page used a bento box layout that gave everything similar visual weight, felt intimidating to newcomers, and lacked brand consistency. The new design introduces an interactive map as the primary navigational element, leading with traffic and outages to provide concrete, timely reference points. Below the map, a tabbed exploration flow replaces the old chart widgets, offering summary statistics and clearer calls to action. The design language blends marketing approachability, content structure, and product maintainability by migrating to Cloudflare’s Kumo component system, aiming for a human-centered experience that does not sacrifice technical rigor.
