Beget Confirms Irreversible Loss of VPS Backups After Breach

Hackers broke into Beget’s core management system on the night of 1–2 November 2026 and wiped virtual servers, S3 storage and Kubernetes environments along with their full binary snapshots. Hundreds of thousands of websites went offline.

Only file-level copies survived. These allow recovery of content but require rebuilding servers from scratch, with some settings lost for good.

By 2 November 14:00 Moscow time the company restored dedicated servers, DNS records for .ru, .рф and .su zones, and 80 % of email services. Full mail operation is expected within ten hours.

File copies remain under quarantine until every restored server is scanned for hidden backdoors.
