Note that Yandex currently seems to be made of “Yandex teams relocated out of the country” (say, 1/5th of the company, I don't have exact numbers), “Yandex teams inside the country”, and “Yandex brand services sold to other company”, so the internal access situation is complex.
Yandex reverse image search is very good. I use it more than tineye, bing, or goog. It either gives you the exact matches if it can find them, or else it can infer what is desired and show many similar matches.
Yandex translation and maps were also substantially better than Google in Russia when I traveled there in 2019
Could any kind soul out there upload the repositories to a public git instance?
No? It's 44GB of data.

Their Street View product is also very good, however their coverage is mostly for ex Soviet Union countries
heh, I remember looking up some satellite maps of French prisons on Google maps. They were blurred!!!! https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Centre+P%C3%A9nitentiaire+d... A quick trip over to Yandex, and there they were in their full glory: https://yandex.com/maps/10502/paris/?l=sat&ll=2.340173%2C48....

You don't need to hack Yandex. The entire monorepostory is synced on every intern's laptop, and you can do whatever your want with the files. I always wondered how it hasn't been leaked before to be honest.
> The entire monorepostory is synced on every intern's laptop, If they're still using Subversion, why would that be? Subversion lets you check out just part of a repo. (Then again, interns, I guess.)
2. Subversion lets you check out portions of your repository.
3. Subversion working copy does not have all regions history. Just a snapshot of the checked out revision.
So at least Subversion would have allowed them to limit the amount of leaked data + no revision history leaked.

> One wonders if this is revenge from the regime. It's not a revenge of the the regime. A decade ago it was a different company, now they all are completely under the cap of FSB, it's basically a Lubyanka filial. It's serfdom all over again, not that strange it got leaked by some unhappy employee.
Is this well known? Seems likely the leak was done by an anti-Putin employee or ex employee in revenge/protest against the war if yes.

Probably Yandex will start watching their infrastructure very closely, and go through all known attack vectors that haven't been prioritized before to fix them ASAP. Won't be a boon for OSS, any author would be idiotic to read stolen source code and then decide to create a OSS library/project based on what they learn from it.
> any author would be idiotic to read stolen source code and then decide to create a OSS library/project based on what they learn from it. What? Why? Isn't this what software developers do — they read a lot of code; they find ideas they like; they mix them together with their own ideas while building something. Isn't this how learning works in general?
