Cybersecurity experts including the United Kingdom’s former cybersecurity chief are pouring cold water over Elon Musk’s suggestion that a large-scale cyberattack on his social media site X came from Ukraine.
Musk on Monday said X had been deluged by a “massive cyberattack" involving “either a large, coordinated group and/or a country.” The tech mogul and close ally of United States President Donald Trump later told the Fox Business channel that “there was a massive cyberattack to try to bring down the X system, with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area.”
But cybersecurity experts were quick to push back.
That’s funny, the Jerusalem Post blamed Palestinians. One other post I saw just said “Musk points the finger at everyone but himself” and that made me laugh.
The article states near the end that Pro-Palestinian group “Dark Storm” has claimed responsibility for the attack, but not everyone is convinced.
