A Yandex source code repository allegedly stolen by a former employee of the Russian technology company has been leaked as a Torrent on a popular hacking forum.
Yesterday, the leaker posted a magnet link that they claim are 'Yandex git sources' consisting of 44.7 GB of files stolen from the company in July 2022. These code repositories allegedly contain all of the company's source code besides anti-spam rules.
Software engineer Arseniy Shestakov analyzed the leaked Yandex Git repository and said it contains technical data and code about the following products: Yandex search engine and indexing bot Yandex Maps Alice (AI assistant) Yandex Taxi Yandex Direct (ads service) Yandex Mail Yandex Disk (cloud storage service) Yandex Market Yandex Travel (travel booking platform) Yandex360 (workspaces service) Yandex Cloud Yandex Pay (payment processing service) Yandex Metrika (internet analytics)
Among other interesting things, old comments were revealed, shining light on some of Yandex's bizzare coding behavior, such as naming variables "nigger" and other offensive words. (https://2ch.sh/user/netmode/src/netmode004.jpg)
