The strange case of disappearing Russian servers, (Mon, Nov 25th)

This report examines Shodan-based measurements that detected a sustained drop in Russia’s Internet-exposed services since early August, with the most pronounced decrease on TCP/7547 (TR-069/CWMP) and a strong impact within AS12389 (Rostelecom). The analysis concludes that increased filtering/censorship likely reduced scanner visibility across multiple services—rather than actual server decommissioning—consistent with Russia’s broader “sovereign internet” initiatives.
