When big clouds go down, users lose functions and businesses look for backup providers.

According to CNews, Yandex disabled bulk file downloads from Disk, viewing of cloud attachments in mail and part of Documents in Yandex 360; the company said it did this deliberately to keep the service operating. According to CNews, a force majeure clause has been added to the user agreement, and restoring the infrastructure may take months. The sources describe the attacks on data centers in Sasovo, the Kaluga region and the Vladimir region as strikes by Ukrainian drones. Kommersant reports Yandex shares fell 5.79% on the Moscow Exchange on the morning of October 12; Cian, by its own account, is working in limited mode. IT expert Dmitry Livshin told Rossiyskaya Gazeta that demand for "private clouds" has grown.
