Data-wiping attack destroys cloud data and backups at Russia's Beget
Impact: Loss of VPS, S3, and Kubernetes data and some backups, with disruption to websites, email, and DNS services
Russian cloud and hosting provider Beget suffered a cyberattack between the night of November 1 and November 2, 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 November 10, 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.
