>We also have not seen any information from Rostelecom about whether this was a configuration mistake or a deliberate action

My ISP is Rostelecom and here they have the reputation of being a pretty crappy provider (probably because it's a monopoly in a lot of places), so a mistake is a possible reason, it's something Rostelecom could do.

Good to know. Thanks for providing this viewpoint as a customer.

From my reading, the answer seems to be yes, but Apple launched mitigations already after 5 hours.

The Register had an article building off this post with some more conjecture: https://www.theregister.com/2022/07/27/apple_networking_traf...

It was, and let's keep pretending like the Russian invasion of Ukraine has nothing to do with that (or other tech news about Russia).
