First reported · Last reported · 13 related reports

Russian cloud and hosting provider Beget suffered a cyber-attack between the night of 1 November and 2 November, losing VPS, S3 and Kubernetes data as well as some backups. The attacker breached the management system and executed data-wiping malware, causing widespread disruption to customer websites, email and DNS services. The company disconnected all servers from the network to prevent the attack from spreading and began rebuilding and restoring its infrastructure. As of 10 November, it had restored 60% of shared hosting and 40% of dedicated servers, but estimated that the remaining file backups could support recovery for only about half of VPS users.
