Summary
Jeremiah Fowler (profile name: ‘Security Researcher’) claims, citing ‘Cloudflare Data Explorer’, that ‘the amount of russian bot traffic has dropped to 49%’ after Ukraine struck a Yandex data center, and asks whether this could ‘disrupt the midterm elections in the US’. The figure and the election link are the author’s own reading and are not verified; Cloudflare Radar’s own post (see x-cloudflareradar-2108122893028671604) only reports that traffic from Yandex Cloud (AS200350) fell about 33% below the previous week.
