Cybersecurity analysts have examined recent disruptions to Russian internet services, including attacks on the search engine Yandex, and found no clear indication that state-backed troll farms or disinformation networks have been directly impacted. While the outages have disrupted online operations in Russia, investigations suggest these groups continue operating through alternative channels and infrastructure. The lack of visible disruption raises questions about the broader effectiveness of such cyber campaigns against organized propaganda efforts. Experts emphasize that assessing long-term consequences will require further monitoring of digital activity.
Experts say there is no evidence that Russian trolls have been affected by Ukraine’s Yandex attacks.
