I saw a quote from a group that tracks a lot of the suckers saying there was a very large drop in sppecifically botnet activity from Russia, but not because Yandex was hosting a hive directly rather as a momentary disruption of infrastructure such as banks and internet gateways.
Still, they’re a relatively small portion of the pie. Gotta celebrate small victories, though.
yeah, bots are rarely from one location. they are modular and use components from pre-existant infrastructure, like hacked routers or phones of unsuspecting victims, DNS, darknet and regular website hosting as control network or payload hosting. destroying a datacenter can affect parts of that and sever the connection between the controller and the end points, but both sides will usually try to reconnect.
if glorious Ukraine will keep hitting them tho, their attempts to reconnect will be futile and the russian invaders may be left without any internet connection at all.

Seems to be worked to kill Elon’s clicks
A botnet is distributed by definition, but instructions to the botnet have to come from somewhere.
Taking out infra is more powerful, it actually affects Russians.
Plus, it’s hardly even worth justifying targets now while Russia continuously strikes civilian zones.
