"Bot traffic" for Cloudflare purposes is really about automation scripts fetching things, like curl, wget, fetch, GitHub, or Install-Module. Human users are defined as those using full-blown browsers. Reply

M Droy I'm guessing the author got hacked by Kiev propagandists – a lot about. And they are reposting the fake story everywhere. He has never written on Europe or war before. the Getty images picture is from July 29th and is a Wildberries Warehouse, not a data center. https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/smoke-rises-as-firefighters-work-to-extinguish-a-fire-at-news-photo/2287463782?phrase=russia on fire Reply

Yandex servers did get hit, and their services did experience interruptions. The thing is, nothing still prevents the hypothetical Russian bots from using X, Quora, or Reddit. None of those are hosted on Yandex, but in the West. All the Russians need to use those is a Western VPN. Reply

I am a ukrainian and I am signing up over everything that written in the news post. Facts of war starting in 2014 are well documented by international independent media and OSINT investigators. Escalation in 2022, and russian attacks on civilian infrastructure are also globally recognized. What indeed happened for the first time here, is the post from your account. So it is easy to assume a good chance of a russian bot activity. Wording and shame tactics used in the comment here are aligned with GMKT practices, that, I have to admit, I guided myself in the past. BTW, it is Kyiv, not Kiev. Reply

Bots in the Cloudflare survey are automation scripts, with no relation to propaganda. Kyiv was invented by a Ukrainian MFA in 2018, just to make it most different from Russian. In your native Ukrainian, there is barely any difference. In English, it is a special phonetics for virtue signaling. Y is a consonant sound, so KY combo should really be read as in KY Jello? Reply

The Kyiv spelling dates all the way back to the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. It was officially mandated by the Ukrainian government in 1995. The only thing that changed in 2018 was an organized push to have the spelling recognized internationally, which was only necessary because of dolts like you and M Droy above. Also, the pronunciation IS different. The Ukrainian pronunciation is actually closer to the Polish pronunciation than the Russian pronunciation. Reply

USAFRet As is often the case, comments on articles like this have strayed FAR afield. If you want to see this closed to further comments, or even more personal action…continue with this off topic stuff. The choice is all yours. Reply

alan.campbell99 Whether or not the bot traffic affect is real this will surely have some digital/payment infrastructure effects. Reply
