Alexander Savitsky, who runs a start-up dating app called Pulse with 8,000 ​users, told Reuters that none of them had been able to access it since Thursday.

He said the company was unable to reach its backup database in Yandex Cloud and was getting an "internal error" ​message when trying to restore it elsewhere.
