Beyond being a cloud storage service, Yandex Disk's shareable link feature is occasionally used to distribute pirated content (films, TV series, software) and leaked database files. Yandex Disk links shared in Telegram channels are the most common form of abuse on this platform.
File/folder reporting process
- Use the "Report abuse" option on the page of the shared link, if available
- Submit your application to Yandex's copyright infringement notification form with evidence of your work and the file link
- Files containing leaked personal data should also be evaluated for a data breach notification under applicable data protection law
Why does it need to be monitored separately?
Yandex Disk links are usually shared through Telegram channels, and once a link is removed, the content can quickly be re-shared under a new link. This is why Yandex Disk-based violations need to be handled together with their source platform (usually Telegram).
Achernar's Telegram Deep Scan service includes external-linked leak files, such as Yandex Disk links shared in Telegram channels, within its scanning scope.
