Yandex Disk Files Become Partially Inaccessible After Sasovo Data Center Incident
A user investigating backup procedures after news of an incident at the Sasovo data center discovered that a portion of files on Yandex Disk had become inaccessible. The problems appeared in three separate states affecting both the Photos and Files sections of the service.
In the first state, thumbnails failed to load in the photo gallery while the original files remained downloadable. The user observed that the downloader service redirected requests to storage nodes that were still operational, suggesting that thumbnail generation infrastructure was impacted while primary data remained available.
The second and more concerning state showed visible thumbnails, yet attempts to download the originals resulted in 504 Gateway Time-out responses from nodes such as s418klg.storage.yandex.net. Detailed curl tracing confirmed that the downloader.disk.yandex.ru service issued redirects to affected storage hosts that subsequently timed out.
The third state combined both issues, with neither thumbnails nor originals accessible. The user estimated that roughly one percent of their stored data, totaling about 21 GB out of 1.9 TB, exhibited these symptoms as of the night of October 10.
Support requests submitted to Yandex, including screenshots and direct file links, were closed after the company asked for original copies of the affected files without offering further diagnosis or confirmation of data loss. The author advises all users to verify their own Yandex Disk contents and maintain at least one offline backup copy.

Reviving Huawei SANEX9510: Expired Certificates, Zero-Byte Keystore and Lost '@' Symbol Fixed Without Database Restart
A three-day postmortem revealed seven independent failures across four TLS contours in a legacy Huawei SANEX9510 telecom OSS platform that had been offline for ten months. The issues included expired certificates, an empty 0-byte PKCS#12 keystore, a missing '@' character in an encrypted TrustStore password, incompatible PKCS#8 private key encryption formats, and connection leaks to Sybase IQ. All components were restored without rebooting servers, restarting the database, or resetting passwords. The engineer mapped every keystore reference across multiple property files to avoid breaking working segments while fixing others. A final table creation for missing DAS_DIRSIZE metadata resolved a month-old import failure unrelated to the certificate problems.

Russian Federal Tax Service Tests Scoring Model to Uncover Concealed Self-Employed Income
The Russian Federal Tax Service is piloting a new scoring system designed to detect self-employed individuals who attempt to hide revenue by improperly canceling receipts in the Moy Nalog application. The model analyzes patterns such as systematic cancellations over specific periods and instances where checks are annulled by partner platforms or banks. Vladimir Maltsev, head of the operational control department at the Federal Tax Service, confirmed that the system is already being tested in several regions. Over the first nine months of 2026, authorities imposed penalties on approximately 3,000 self-employed taxpayers for unlawful receipt cancellations, resulting in fines totaling around 300 million rubles. The approach mirrors risk-assessment techniques long used by banks and focuses not only on incoming funds but also on how users manage recorded transactions. Full details of the scoring parameters and their weighting remain undisclosed to prevent circumvention.
