Hacker Wipers Obliterate Beget Cloud While Half of VPS Backups Vanish
Another glorious achievement in digital sovereignty: one of the largest Russian hosting providers just got wiped clean by hackers, leaving half of their server customers holding a bag full of absolute digital void.
Hackers breached the central management plane of Beget and executed wiper scripts that completely vaporized the provider's entire cloud infrastructure. The digital blitz wiped out all operational data across their virtual private servers, S3 storage, and Kubernetes clusters, reducing client production environments into pure digital dust.
While the company managed to reboot around 60% of basic shared hosting, half of all VPS clients will discover their file backups simply do not exist. For the lucky half that actually has surviving archives, engineers are manually reconstructing scrambled links between client accounts and orphaned drive images, an agonizing process expected to drag on for days.
The company is now rebuilding its entire cloud architecture from zero while collaborating with Russian cybersecurity authorities and domestic police to investigate the catastrophe.
Keeping critical production workloads on domestic infrastructure without an offsite backup strategy remains the fastest path to spontaneous corporate enlightenment.
