It's funny and all, but no credible source reported lowered Russian bot activity after those bombings. It's one of those things that makes sense, but didn't happen.

    It was visible in my spam folder. Usually I get 1-2 russian spam emails a day, but from Oct 12th to October 17th they just stopped (the bombing was on the 11th)

    The data center hit only had crawlers. There is no noticeable lowering of Russian bot activity.

    There are organisations trying to monitor bot activity and none of them saw a noticeable decline.

    That does not mean the datacenter hit was only hosting crawlers
