Yandex is one of the largest IT companies in Russia. Within the country it provides a wider range of services than Google. Imagine one company that replaces Google, Uber, Amazon, Netflix and Spotify.
Is this leak real?
I personally never worked at Yandex, but I know several Whatsapp Mobile Number List people who worked there at different times or work there still. I verified that at least some of the archives for sure contain modern source code for company services as well as documentation pointing to real intranet URLs.
What’s inside
The leaker has shared a magnet link containing 44.7GB of files linked to Yandex git sources. The files were allegedly stolen from Yandex in July 2022. Apart from containing anti-spam guidelines, the code repositories are believed to have Yandex’s source code.
The leak revealed around 1,922 ranking factors the search engine uses in its search algorithm. The code was leaked as a torrent. Per the analysis posted by Twitter user Alex Buraks, the leaked data includes numerous ranking factors, including text relevancy, PageRank, content age, freshness, etc.
Moreover, several end-user behaviour factors, link-related factors, and host reliability exist. SEOs find some unusual ranking factors, such as the number of unique visitors, average domain ranking across queries, and percent of organic traffic.
