Yandex has recovered 97.16% of customer data affected by Ukrainian drone strikes against its Russian data centers, although some information remains permanently inaccessible.
The Russian technology giant confirmed that the remaining 2.84% could not be restored due to equipment damage and the absence of backup copies.
Customers who had activated its backup tools before the incidents retained their information, with no losses reported among those accounts.
