According to Yandex, this happened as a result of hackers attacking the Yandex.Taxi service. Hackers called dozens of taxis to the same address, and then all of the taxi drivers went to the same spot. As a result, dozens of taxis coming to pick up their customers caused a traffic jam that lasted for 40 minutes.
We developed algorithms against such events.
Regarding the incident, Yandex said: “Drivers spent about 40 minutes in traffic due to fake orders. The compensation issue will be resolved very soon. Our taxis have now left the congestion zone and continue to operate as usual.” made the statement.
On the other hand, Yandex announced that the algorithm to prevent similar incidents in the future and to detect and prevent such attacks has already been developed.
