NEW DELHI: Billionaire Elon Musk on Tuesday hinted at Ukraine’s link with the cyberattack on X that led to massive global outage on his social media platform.
Millions of users across Europe, North America, and Asia, including India, were unable to access the micro-blogging platform on Monday for long periods. According to outage tracking platform DownDetector, the X outage peaked at around 15:00 hours.
Speaking to media Musk alleged that the massive cyberattack had digital traces originating from Ukraine.
"We're not sure exactly what happened, but there was a massive cyberattack to try to bring down the X system with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area, " Musk was quoted as saying in an interview with Fox News.
During the downtime, X stopped working completely, and more than 40, 000 users experienced connectivity issues and were unable to post tweets or even open pages on the platform.
