The Cyber Police Department of the National Police of Ukraine dismantled another massive bot farm , seizing computer equipment, mobile phones, and roughly 150,000 SIM cards of multiple mobile operators. BleepingComputer reports:Cyber police in Ukraine have busted several pro-Russian bot farms in the last year, including one last month called "Botoferma" and another one late last year that was working for the Russian secret services. Ukraine also traced a Russian propaganda operation to a bot farm that was secretly operating in the country's own capital of Kyiv last August. "The farm operated more than 1 million bot accounts , which helped the propaganda operation build an audience of over 400,000 users on social media," reports PCMag.
