Yandex, after attacks on data centers, managed to regain access to 97.16% of customer data in Yandex Cloud, the company said in a statement. The remaining 2.84% cannot be recovered "due to critical equipment damage and the lack of backups on the platform for customers".
Customers who used the Yandex Cloud backup tool will have access to all data. Now for all new virtual machines, backup will be enabled by default, Yandex added.
From October 8 to October 11, Ukrainian drones attacked three of the company's data centers - in Sasov, Ryazan region, Kaluga and Vladimir. Because of this, large-scale failures occurred not only in Yandex's own services, including Yandex Go, Mail, Pay, Disk and Kinopoisk, but also in third-party sites that use its infrastructure.
In its third-quarter financial report, Yandex withdrew its annual revenue and adjusted EBITDA forecasts, citing uncertainty due to the October attacks on data centers. The shocks occurred after the end of the reporting period and did not affect the quarterly results, and without them it would have been difficult for the company to meet its previous forecast.
