Beget Restores 60% of Hosting After Cyberattack, Cloud Lost

Russian hosting provider Beget has restored more than 60% of its hosting services following a cyberattack, while admitting that its cloud infrastructure was destroyed and that not all customer data can be recovered.

According to the company, attackers gained access to the control layer of its entire architecture on the night of 1 to 2 November 2026 and then ran scripts that wiped data. Beget says everything that could be restored fastest has already been brought back.

What is lost and what is coming back

The remaining hosting servers were hit harder and will be rebuilt from backups. The company plans to begin the process on the first of those servers on 7 November 2026. Control panel functions will be relaunched in stages.

The outlook for virtual private servers is less encouraging. By Beget's current estimate, file backups of VPS will be available to only half of users, and "it is impossible to restore all data." The company also acknowledged that some of the most recent data in its internal system was lost, and that in some cases the links between accounts and their services disappeared. Those records are being reassembled.

Cloud rebuilt from scratch

"Unfortunately, the cloud infrastructure has been destroyed. We are building it anew," the company said. The architecture and management services are already back, and Beget expects to connect the first servers within one to two days, followed by integration and testing. Access to surviving copies will be provided through the control panel.

Beget also says it is working on the assumption that the threat has not gone away. It is cleaning out everything it can and redoing every point that could be vulnerable, including those that previously did not look dangerous.

For customers, the practical message is that recovery will be uneven. Websites on shared hosting are returning first, while VPS and cloud users face the longest wait and the highest risk of permanent data loss.
