On October 23, Yandex reported restoring access to 90.47% of client data, Interfax writes. Later, the company's engineers continued work after attacks on data centers; the cause of unrecoverable losses was equipment damage and the absence of backups, RIA Novosti reports. The remaining 2.84% cannot be recovered due to critical damage, Interfax reports.
TASS linked the data loss to attacks on data processing centers. The company did not disclose the amount of damage, The Moscow Times reported, citing a Yandex statement.
On November 10, the company announced that clients who used Yandex Cloud backup tools had their data fully preserved, RIA Novosti reported. This applies to users who had backup configured.
After the incident, Yandex Cloud changed settings for new virtual machines: backup is now enabled by default, RIA Novosti reported. This does not restore data lost as a result of the incident but changes the initial protection settings for new machines.
