The attack does seem to be legit. Good. Fuck data centers, every one shut down is a win for humanity.

Yeah, I knew the picture was AI generated; it's a viral image in relation to the Ukraniian strikes, but the attacks are real. They hit three Yandex sites, and it is impacting the presence of Russian bots on social media. Zelenskyy is really trying to hit Russia hard in terms of their economy and ability to propagate  by attacking their energy and information infrastructure. That may end up hurting Russia more than anything else Ukraine could do, as it has apparently caught Russia completely off-guard. Russia is likewise attacking data centers in Kyiv.
