Russian host Beget rebuilds after data-wiper attack on cloud
Original title: Russian cloud firm Beget rebuilds from scratch after data wiper attack
A week later, 60% of shared hosting and 40% of managed dedicated servers were restored; VPS file backups exist for about half of users.
Beget said that on the night of November 1 an attacker reached the management systems of its entire architecture and ran data-zeroing scripts. The company disconnected servers to stop spread. Cloud data including VPS, S3, and Kubernetes was lost, along with CDN settings, IP configurations, and VPS binary backups. Beget says it found no evidence of download or modification and notified police and government agencies.
Unconfirmed: Beget's claim that the attacker did not download or modify data is the company's assessment.
- Beget serves more than 200,000 customers, including stores, media, and education.
- VPS file backups are expected for roughly half of VPS users, per a November 6 assessment.
- About 1,000 servers need manual checks before returning online.
- The company treats all infrastructure as potentially infected and is reworking vulnerable points.
Impact: erasure of cloud, VPS, S3, and Kubernetes data
