Beget cyberattack: hosting provider declares force majeure

Hosting provider Beget has updated its information on the incident: its infrastructure was attacked on the night of November 2, 2026. The company calls the attack massive, and it disrupted a number of services. Recovery is under way, with details published in updates.

The key point is not the attack itself but the wording. Beget has officially declared force majeure. Such a clause usually releases a company from liability for downtime. Whether customers can claim compensation depends on the terms of their specific plan and service agreement.

For website owners, this means one thing: a site or mailbox that went offline that day may end up being the owner’s problem rather than the hosting provider’s. As market practice shows, conversations about backups usually start the morning after an outage, not before it.

Which services were hit, how many customers are affected, and whether any data leaked is not known from the available material. Beget has not disclosed this yet, so it is too early to conclude that data was lost.
