Beget continues rebuilding its hosting infrastructure after a destructive attack overnight on November 1–2, 2026. Its official timeline, updated November 9, describes access to management servers followed by data-deletion malware. For a customer’s website, service availability and data recovery are different questions.

Recovery depends on the hosting service

The Record describes effects on VPS, cloud storage and Kubernetes, alongside the need for manual inspections. Customers cannot infer their own website’s condition from an announcement about another hosting category. Identify your plan, its dependencies and Beget’s stated recovery position for each one.

Establish what can actually be recovered

The official November 9 update at 16:00 Moscow time says VPS backups can be downloaded from the control panel. BleepingComputer nevertheless reports uneven backup availability. The announcement therefore does not establish that a complete copy exists for every VPS. Before rebuilding, our recommendation is to list copies you can actually read: website files, database, media and configuration. A date displayed in a control panel is not a substitute for testing restoration in a separate environment.

Prioritize the website’s business functions

For a store hosted at Beget, distinguish browsing the catalogue, placing orders and tracking payments. Check transaction consistency through your usual channels before reopening an order or chasing a customer. Do not compensate for missing history by requesting card information over email.

A small organization can prepare an information page and temporary contact without copying its customer database into them. State only what your own checks establish, separating website availability from orders that have actually been reconciled.

Review credentials while rebuilding

Deployment keys and service accounts should be inventoried alongside backups. If analysis establishes that a secret was accessible in a compromised system, replace it with the issuing service from a healthy workstation and update the jobs using it. Do not automatically reintroduce an old configuration without reviewing the credentials it contains.

Soclyde organizes hosting credentials and related access in an encrypted vault stored on users’ devices. That independence helps retrieve credentials needed for recovery. Beget restored its control panel with limited functionality on November 7; vault access remains separate from restoration of hosting functions. The vault is not a backup of a Beget website, customer database or business files.

Takeaways

Establish what can be restored, then verify business functions and the secrets needed for recovery. Our hacked password response guide helps organize replacement of credentials whose exposure is established or suspected.

Frequently asked questions

Was this just an outage?

Beget describes access to management systems followed by malware intended to delete data. Recovery requires more than restarting a service.

Is a backup at the same provider sufficient?

It may be affected by the same incident. Verify its existence, date and contents before using it, and plan a separate copy suited to your business.

Will changing a password restore the website?

No. Credential replacement and data restoration are separate steps. Perform them from a healthy environment according to the established scope.
