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

Yandex Cloud announced this week that it had restored access to more than 97% of its customers' data following the extensive damage caused by Ukrainian drone strikes. The remaining 2.84% of data is unrecoverable due to critical damage to equipment, a detail that was not immediately highlighted in the company's initial announcement.

Yandex Cloud has now taken a more proactive approach to data protection, forcibly applying backup rules by default for all users. This move follows the company's admission that a lack of user backups contributed to the data loss, marking a significant shift in its operational policy.
