St. Petersburg provider Beget has become a stress test for every Runet model. On the night of November 2, the attackers gained access to the company's control circuit (more than 330,000 websites, mainly small businesses, media and online stores) and launched scripts to delete it. This is not a DDoS attack, but a capture of the "keys to everything", that is, an architectural problem, and not just an external hack.
Customers, meanwhile, are switching to big players (clouds of Yandex, VK, Rostelecom, as well as Selectel and Reg.ru). Now we have to wait for a series of lawsuits and the courts to decide whether the vulnerability of the person himself can be considered as force majeure.
It seems that Baget itself is likely to be sold, taken over or slowly disappear. The downfall of one of the few large private hosts without a state shareholder provides the regulator with a ready argument: private infrastructure is unreliable, which means it needs to be certified and moved to "trusted" clouds.
However, we see that Baguette is not only unreliable, but needs help now. However, further consolidation in the supplier market should be predicted.
