Beget said the attack began at up to 850 Gbit/s before rising to 2.1 Tbit/s, according to the company. The attackers are working through its subnets in sequence in an attempt to disrupt the availability of its services, it said.
Beget said the pattern of the attack pointed to an attempt to derail its recovery from the previous incident. It warned users of possible problems reaching individual resources, including Ozon, Wildberries and Sberbank.

According to the company, intruders gained control of its entire infrastructure and ran scripts that wiped data. On 6 November Beget said its entire cloud infrastructure had been completely destroyed.
