Beget reports cloud data loss: VPS, S3 and Kubernetes hit

Hosting provider Beget, one of the largest in the Russian internet, has reported data loss in its cloud infrastructure. VPS, S3 and Kubernetes were affected. CDN settings and IP addresses were also lost.

The company kept file backups of VPS and is still looking for ways to recover the rest of the information.

Servers that do not use the hosting administration services have already been brought back. According to Beget, information survived on most of them, but each server goes through an additional check. Virtual hosting will take longer: specialists have to check more than 1,000 servers by hand. Preliminary estimates say almost all sites can be restored, but the company gives no exact date for full recovery. Beget states that it found no attempts to download or modify data on servers holding customer files. Still, the company recommends changing passwords, access keys and other credentials that may have been stored on the servers.

KRAKOBIT reported on November 2 that Beget had declared force majeure after a massive cyberattack that disrupted a number of its services. Specialists are now rebuilding the infrastructure of its data centers.
