On Thursday, hackers breached a Russian taxi app and sent dozens of drivers to the same location, causing a massive traffic jam.
Yandex Taxi, a Russian taxi app, confirmed to Forbes.ru that it was targeted by hackers who caused a traffic jam that left drivers stuck for nearly an hour on Moscow’s Kutuzovsky Prospekt, a major road that leads to the capital city’s center.
“On the morning of September 1, Yandex Taxi encountered an attempt by attackers to disrupt the service – several dozen drivers received bulk orders to the Fili region,” Yandex Taxi said in a statement.
The Twitter account “runews” posted video of the traffic jam.
“Someone hacked #YandexTaxi and ordered all available taxis to Kutuzov Prospect in Moscow. Now there is a huge traffic jam with taxis,” the user tweeted. “It‘s like James Bond movie.”
