Elon Musk's X Faces Major Outages Following Cyberattack Allegations

Musk claims a 'massive cyberattack' targeted X, with cybersecurity experts questioning his attribution to Ukraine.

X, formerly known as Twitter, experienced multiple global outages on Monday, with over 40,000 user reports of disruptions at peak times.
Elon Musk attributed the outages to a 'massive cyberattack,' suggesting involvement by a 'large, coordinated group and/or a country.'
Musk stated that IP addresses linked to the attack originated in the 'Ukraine area,' but cybersecurity experts cautioned that IP locations alone are not reliable evidence of the attack's origin.
A pro-Palestinian hacking group, Dark Storm Team, claimed responsibility for the attack, though their involvement remains unverified.
Experts highlighted vulnerabilities in X's cybersecurity infrastructure, including poorly secured servers, which may have exacerbated the impact of the attack.
