X Cyberattack Causes Major Outage, Dark Storm Suspected

Elon Musk has reported that X, formerly known as Twitter, experienced a major cyberattack on Monday, affecting thousands of users globally. Musk suggested that a large, coordinated group or possibly a country was behind the attack, which he described as utilizing extensive resources. Downdetector recorded over 40,000 outage reports, predominantly affecting the X mobile app and website. Netblocks confirmed the nature of the outage as consistent with a denial of service attack. Speculation has arisen about the involvement of the Dark Storm hacker group, known for similar attacks in the past. While Musk has not provided concrete evidence or identified specific culprits, this incident marks one of the longest and most impactful outages X has faced under his ownership.
