Yandex. Taxi also said that security services quickly put an end to the unrest and that security measures have already been improved to prevent new cyber attacks in the future.

Yandex. Taxi is owned by digital giant Yandex, Russia’s equivalent of Google, which has been hit by European sanctions following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Yandex.
