What happened to Sber: chronicle of the attack on the Balakovo data center

A few days after the attacks on Yandex, a similar attack was carried out on Sber. The target was the data center in Balakovo, Saratov region. This is the largest data center in Russia. 3,000 racks. 120,000 servers. And it also turned out to be vulnerable.

What to do right now: a technical plan for those who depend on the cloud

The events of October 8–11, 2026 showed the main thing: a cloud provider is not a guarantor of stability. It is a landlord. And if its infrastructure falls, your business falls with it. But panic is a bad advisor.

Отличная работа! Команда "Арктик-Мобайл" помогла нам с внедрением системы мониторинга на Крайнем Севере. Всё работает стабильно даже при -40°C.

Разработали для нас уникальный софт для прогнозирования акций MOEX. Точность поражает! Будем продолжать сотрудничество.

Проект по учёту белых медведей с использованием нейросетей — это прорыв! Мы получили точные данные за считанные дни вместо месяцев полевых работ.

GHOST реально спасает. Сервер упал в 3 часа ночи — система сама перезапустила службы и прислала уведомление на телефон. Проснулся уже с мыслью "всё работает". Рекомендую всем, кто устал от ночных дежурств.

Используем "Математик для КВИО" в нашем проекте по беспилотникам. Сигнал стал чище, ошибки позиционирования ушли. То, что мы искали — без GPS, но точнее GPS.

«Танцующий луч» установили на наш новый траулер. Антенна показала себя отлично в штормовых условиях — связь не прерывалась даже при волнении 6 баллов.
