TREE NEWS update: Beget, a major Russian cloud services provider, reported that its infrastructure was hit by a large-scale cyberattack in the early hours of Nov. 2, causing partial service outages. The company said the impact is still being assessed and it cannot yet give a full recovery timeline. The attack may have disrupted access to nearly 500,000 Russian websites hosted on Beget.

Concentration risk is the real story here: a single provider's outage reaching hundreds of thousands of sites shows how much of the Russian web depends on a handful of hosting firms. The disruption matters less for crypto or RWA markets directly than as a reminder that infrastructure single points of failure carry systemic weight, and that attackers can impose broad collateral damage with one target. Beget's inability to give a recovery timeline is the detail worth tracking — whether that reflects the scale of the intrusion or simply incomplete assessment is the open question.
