Nearly 3% of Cloud Customer Data Permanently Lost After Drone Strikes, Yandex Says
- On Tuesday, Yandex reported it restored access to around 97% of cloud customer data affected by Ukrainian drone strikes last month, though the remaining 3% is permanently lost.
- Disruptions followed Ukrainian drone strikes on Yandex data centers between Oct. 8 and Oct. 11, impacting government agencies and private firms relying on the platform's infrastructure.
- The company attributed permanent loss to "critical damage to equipment" and a failure by some cloud customers to maintain external backups on the platform.
- Yandex later said it had restored "key features" for users and businesses; specialized supercomputers at two targeted facilities survived and were transferred to secure sites.
- Engineers are redistributing computing workloads across a decentralized network throughout Russia to reduce reliance on single locations, and Yandex updated its platform to enable automatic data backups by default.
