Russian hosting provider Beget has reported a significant data loss within its cloud infrastructure, affecting VPS, S3, and Kubernetes services. The incident occurred following a massive cyberattack that disrupted the operation of several company services. Currently, specialists are actively working on restoring the data center infrastructure.

• Major hosting provider Beget reported data loss in its cloud infrastructure, impacting VPS, S3, and Kubernetes.
• The company preserved VPS file backups and is seeking ways to recover other information, CDN settings, and IP addresses.
• Servers not using hosting administration services are back online, but each is undergoing additional checks.
• Specialists must manually check over 1,000 virtual hosting servers, and exact full recovery dates are not yet announced.

Infrastructure recovery and server status

According to the company, servers that do not use hosting administration services have already been returned to operation. Information on most of them has been preserved, but every server is undergoing an additional security check. Preliminary assessments show that almost all websites on virtual hosting can be restored.

However, restoring this service will take time. Specialists must manually check more than 1,000 servers to ensure stability. Exact timelines for full recovery have not yet been announced, while infrastructure checks and service restoration continue.

Data security and recommendations for clients

Beget states that no attempts to download or modify user data on servers have been detected. Nevertheless, the company strongly recommends that clients change passwords, access keys, and other credentials that could have been stored on the servers.

This incident highlights the importance of regular independent backups and strict cybersecurity measures for webmasters and businesses. Monitoring infrastructure continuously remains critical in the face of ongoing cyber threats.
