Beget has restored more than 215 thousand sites after a cyber attack

Beget has recovered more than 215,000 sites from backups after a recent cyberattack on Nov. 2. At the same time, the hosting provider continues to repel a high-intensity DDoS attack.

Beget said that the ongoing attack does not affect the operation of services already restored and customer resources hosted on the company’s servers. They also said they have the necessary technology and expertise to counter such threats. “The restoration of virtual hosting is nearing completion,” the company said.

In addition, the company is gradually returning the functionality of the control panel: “For users of shared hosting, the Crontab and Backup sections have already been restored.”.

Beget urged users to focus on information from official channels of the company. Restoration of the remaining resources and functionality of services continues, it added.

On the afternoon of November 15, Beget reported a DDoS attack with a capacity of up to 850 Gbps. According to the company, attackers consistently go through its network subnets, trying to disrupt the availability of services.

Beget said the attack was aimed at preventing infrastructure from being rebuilt after a previous incident in early November, when the company said it had destroyed its cloud infrastructure and intended to rebuild it. Due to the new attack, some users may have temporary problems with access to certain Internet resources, including Ozon, Wildberries and Sberbank.
