Runet was partially shut down due to a major failure of the hosting provider to give rise to Russians massively complaining about problems opening websites. Over 700,000 resources are based on the company's servers, including the portals of the "Straight Sign" system and the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The failure occurred around 03:00 Moscow time. "We are continuing a detailed analysis of the situation. The problem is complex and affects all levels of architecture," Baggett wrote.
