We're just investigating a similar issue on our site. We have an internal URL only available to admins (and would return a 403 otherwise, not linked to from any public page), that suddenly got crawled by Yandex. We checked the IPs of the indexing itself and they are legit.

My colleague also found this discussion[0] recently, which reports a similar problem.
