Every now and again, the Yandex team go through some housekeeping and update, deprecate, or add new documents to their Webmaster support hub.
In the past 24 hours, the Yandex team appear to have been busy with a few changes.
modern-attacks/content-check
Status: 404, Deprecated
An article originally contributed to the Webmaster section by Sophos, back in August 2007, the URL now returns a 404 and from initial checks the content no longer exists on the Yandex support domain.

site-content/data-transmit
Status: Updated
This is a more subtle change, but important for Webmasters trying to achieve special snippets within Yandex, or submitting information via the partner program.
The previous list of data types you were able to submit was:
- Video
- Questions and answers
- Other creative content
- Images
- Recipes
- Programs (applications, computer programs or games)
- Original content
- Products and prices
- Movies
And this has now changed to:
- Video
- FAQ
- Other creative content
- Images
- Recipes
- Programs (applications, computer programs or games)
- Student papers
- Movies
As you can see, original content and products/prices have been removed from the list.
