Elon Musk blames 'IP addresses in Ukraine' after X hit by cyber attack
Elon Musk blames 'IP addresses in Ukraine' after X hit by cyber attack
More than 40,000 users reported they could not access X on Monday, according to data from tracking website Downdetector.com.
In a now-deleted post on Telegram, a hacking group called Dark Storm Team claimed responsibility for the attack.
Do you think it really was a group in Ukraine, or do you reckon that's bullshit?
You're viewing a single thread.
The first "D" in "DDOS" stands for "distributed", i.e. it's coming from many places at once. Elon is either an idiot or a liar. Or both.
He's a propagandist piece of hairy shit
Actually not that hairy, you see the shirtless pic? He’s quite smooth, like a beluga whale.
This. And distribution is not even an option: such servers block IP addresses that send suspicious amounts of data anyways so the DDoS request must be distributed.
Distributed just means "multiple sources" not "multiple countries".
Correct - but having seen them in action, well planned ones are executed from multiple countries at once so they can't just be geoip blocked.
My money is on Elon not understanding how it works, lying, or both. Much more history of that happening than the other.
I agree, to me this feels like a red herring
Elon is either an idiot or a liar. Or both.
Fairly certain that there is enough evidence to support that he is both.
