Yandex's automated traffic fell by 94%, but that probably reflects widespread service outages rather than bot posting rates.

    Well if the c&c or individual VPS of the people are down, the bots will run out of tasks eventually no matter where they are hosted from.

      I just assumed it was all the VPSs and it only would be 1 day before they fixed the routing. Those DC were only being used as infrastructure for routing traffic out of Russia.

      It’s as likely the C&C for Russian Government Propaganda ops is in Yandex data centers as it is that NSA personnel are working from Amazon data centers.

        The NSA is using AWS?

          Security services don’t base their personnel or their user-facing machines in commercial data-centers.

            Right, but they can host the infrastructure these people use to do their jobs, like in the article?
