Elon Musk Confirms DDoS Attack on X

In between the DDoS attacks, Elon Musk has confirmed the attack via X.

There was (still is) a massive cyberattack against 𝕏. We get attacked every day, but this was done with a lot of resources. Either a large, coordinated group and/or a country is involved. – @elonmusk

Dark Storm Claims Responsibility, But That’s Questionable

According to Legacy Media / Mainstream Media (MSM) sources, the hacktivist group Dark Storm has supposedly claimed responsibility.

This narrative is questionable since most hacking groups aren’t out to make such political statements, and the MSM is tying this to Russia as they seem to do for everything these days.

While we may never know who is actually behind this, it smells of government involvement. Taking down a website like ours via a DDoS is fairly simple, and it has happened before (it wouldn’t be shocking to have that happen after posting this). But taking down a service like X would require massive resources that even larger hacking groups probably don’t have at their disposal.

Food for thought. Just last week China said they’re ready for “any type of war”, and a cyberwar could very well fit the bill.

To be continued.
