RussiaOver 1,000 servers need manual inspection after a data-wiping attack.
Beget is Russia’s second-largest registrar of Russian domains, and the outage hit small and medium-sized businesses.
Beget says attackers reached its management systems and ran scripts that erased data, including all binary backups of its virtual servers.
File-level backups survived, and nearly all shared-hosting websites can likely be recovered, the company said.
Beget says engineers are still removing malicious files and checking data integrity across its servers.
