Kyiv’s HUR Cyber Corps attacked Russia’s North Caucasus University, destroying over 150 terabytes of data and weakening the training of technical specialists for Moscow’s military.
Much less. Looking at recent prices, less than €20k€ will get you 1PB of storage, if you want redundancy and error checking this will obviously increase. But should stay well under 100k€.
150TB??? Holy fuck. I wonder what sort of stuff one institution even stores in 150TB of data?
I’ve got a good 5 TB of games. It’s not that crazy an amount of data.
150TB isn’t unheard of for an institution. Some users here have more than that in their homelabs.
Confirming, I have 200TB in home lab and know plenty of others with around this amount:
Depends on what the data was for criticality, not the amount of data. Many orgs, even in smaller countries, have petabytes of data now.
Maybe all the students shared drives? I know I had a couple hundred GB in mine.
High resolution still images and video will get you there pretty easily.
There are some in the datahoarder community pushing a PB.
They mostly store Linux ISOs.
how much does that kind of storage even cost. Like tens or hundrads of thousands no?

can’t imagine spending my entire yearly salary on hard drives
A few seasons of TV shows.
A good reason why when aquiring TV shows “completely legitimately” i always stick to 720p or 1080p if i reaaaaallly like the show.
Hard drives are expensive
Training videos might do it
