The team at Russian video hosting site Rutube has announced new details on how work is progressing to restore the service after a powerful cyberattack on May 9.
Recall that Rutube has been inaccessible for more than a day, and the service team itself admitted that it faced the strongest cyberattack in the history of video hosting.
Earlier, Rutube reported that rumors of source code loss were untrue – the source code is available and the library is intact. As clarified by the press service now, the cyber attack affected more than 75% of the infrastructure and bases of the main version of Rutube, as well as 90% of the backups and clusters, and the restoration of the affected objects will take longer than originally planned.
The press office emphasizes:
While recovery efforts are underway, the exact causes that disabled the video platform have not been named.
