Elon Musk’s X social media platform suffered multiple outages early Monday.

Complaints about outages spiked Monday at 6 a.m. and again at 10 a.m, with more than 40,000 users reporting no access to the platform, according to the tracking website Downdetector.com. Outage reports spiked again around noon and the latest appears to be ongoing.

Downdetector.com said that 56% of problems were reported for the X app, while 33% were reported for the website.

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.

Yeah, with all the vitriol against X and Musk these days, I'm surprised they haven't had more issues at X.  They must have a pretty darn good team in place to defend against these attacks.

Elon Musk reveals who is behind 'massive' cyberattack on X
Story by Jon Michael Raasch, U.S. Political Reporter For Dailymail.Com
•

Elon Musk revealed that the cyberattack which took down his social media app X on Monday seemingly originated in Ukraine.

His bombshell revelation came during an interview with Fox Business Network on Monday afternoon following repeated glitches with his site, which has been down for much of the day.

'Well, we don't we're not sure exactly what happened, but there was a massive cyber attack to try to bring down the X system with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area,' Musk said in the interview. 

Musk confirmed earlier in the day that X has been targeted by a 'massive cyberattack.'

The statement came after the platform has been down for users worldwide. Users have cited issues with the app and website since as early as 5:30am ET.

Musk shared on X that the hack involves so many resources that he believes it could only be the work of a 'coordinated group' or a foreign country.

His suspicions were apparently confirmed after the group Dark Storm Team took credit for the attack, according to post on X Monday afternoon.
