Yandex restricts file downloads from Yandex Disk after data-centre attack

The company deliberately limited functions of its cloud storage, Meduza reports. BBC calls the strike the third on Yandex this week.

According to Meduza, after the attack on a data centre in Vladimir and the service outages that followed, Yandex deliberately restricted some functions of its Yandex Disk cloud storage, including file downloads. Meduza reports the aim was to “preserve the functioning” of the company’s other services. Only Meduza reports this so far.

BBC writes that Ukraine struck a Yandex data centre, and that it was the third time this week the company had been targeted. According to BBC, the attacks forced Yandex to suspend its operations.
