  1. Just to give this some context for people who don’t understand.

    1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte

    1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte

    1024 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte

    1 Terabyte can hold around 30 hours of 4K video.

    Wiping this much data is equivalent to around 60,000 hours of 4K video being deleted

    Edit: for more context, the entirety of Netflix is around 35,000 hours of video.

    Thats a whole lot of data

  2. I bet they didn’t regularly backup. It’s the Russian way to do everything half-assed.

  3. Yes, I’m sure a research center doesn’t have frequent and automated backups, providing the story isn’t yet another shitty propaganda.

  4. Their place in the world gets smaller every day. 

  5. The Ukrainian intelligence service says the damage from the data loss is estimated to be $10,000,000.

  6. What kind of research data? I hope it was not the cure for cancer. 😅

  7. That’s equivalent of about half of your mum’s porn vids, in 1080p.

  8. >The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense claims that pro-Ukrainian hacktivists breached the Russian Center for Space Hydrometeorology, aka “planeta” (планета), and wiped 2 petabytes of data.

    >**Planeta is a state research center using space satellite data and ground sources like radars and stations to provide information and accurate predictions about weather, climate, natural disasters, extreme phenomena, and volcanic monitoring.**

    This….isn’t a good thing? Normally I’d be cheering for this, but this seems like a really bad target to hack that could potentially cause more harm than good. 2 PB or meteorology data could have been invaluable not just to Russians, but everyone else on Earth. What if we miss early warning signs of a disaster now?

  9. Russia will be saying that they were transferring POW’s on those servers any minute now.
