Kind: security · Impact: high

## In 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.
