Exploited in the wild

The Brief

Russian cloud services provider Beget was hit by a data-wiping malware attack.
Beget said it is rebuilding its cloud infrastructure from scratch.

Why it matters

Data wipers destroy data rather than steal it, so teams hosting with cloud providers should verify that their own backups are off-platform and restorable.
