Russia’s Google says nearly 3% of its data was lost after crippling Ukraine drone strikes, opens secret availability zones

Yandex, sometimes called Russia’s Google, has updated its customers in the wake of extensive damage to its data centers in drone strikes. In a blog post this week, the firm’s cloud business boasted that it had “restored access to more than 97% of customer data” [machine translation]. That might sound like a great success, but in the small print, as highlighted by The Register, there’s the admission “the remaining 2.84% cannot be restored due to critical damage to equipment.”

Data centers operated by Yandex have been under attack from Ukrainian drones for several weeks now. We covered reports about withering online troll activity and online payment system disruption last month. We know of at least three Yandex locations that have been damaged by Ukrainian drone assaults to date.

The recent Yandex blog post also appears to blame the small proportion of users who suffered unrecoverable data loss for not making backups. ” In contrast, those who made use of the Yandex Cloud backup tools “did not lose any data,” says the firm.
