Beget Loses Right to Register .RU and .РФ Domains After Hack

A technical step, says Beget

The provider describes the move as a technical measure required by the rules of the Coordination Center, RIPN and the Technical Center of Internet. "This is not a revocation or deprivation of accreditation, but a standard part of the incident response protocol," Beget explained.

According to the company, a plan to restore accreditation has been agreed with all three bodies. Beget says it is following that plan and expects accreditation and access to domain management to return soon.

What it means for customers

Beget says that, by agreement with the Coordination Center and RIPN, the annulment dates for domains it manages have been postponed. Businesses therefore should not lose domains they currently cannot renew. "Domains will keep working and will not be delegated away, even if the registration period expires," the company said.

The suspension follows the attack that, by the provider's own account, completely destroyed its cloud infrastructure. Beget is rebuilding it from scratch and has confirmed that customer data was lost. The incident also caused disruptions across the Russian internet, as one of the country's largest hosting providers went offline.

For now, the practical impact is limited to new registrations and transfers in. Existing domains should continue to resolve, but the timeline for restoring full registrar functions depends on Beget completing the agreed recovery steps.
