On March 10, 2025, X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, experienced multiple outages and intermittent service disruptions worldwide. Users across major countries, including the United States, India, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, reported difficulties accessing the platform. Elon Musk, owner of X, attributed the disruptions to a "massive cyberattack," stating that the platform was still under attack. He suggested that the attack originated from IP addresses "in the Ukraine area" and implied that "either a large, coordinated group and/or a country is involved." Cybersecurity experts expressed skepticism about Musk's attribution. Industry sources cited by Reuters disputed his account, noting that the amount of traffic coming from Ukraine was insignificant. Security researchers also indicated that attributing cyberattacks based solely on IP addresses can be misleading. A pro-Palestinian hacker group known as Dark Storm Team claimed responsibility for the distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on X. The group, which has collaborated with pro-Russian hackers and has a history of targeting organizations supporting Israel, made the claim through a post on Telegram after a period of inactivity. Compounding the challenges for Elon Musk, Tesla, his electric vehicle company, saw its shares plummet more than 15% on Monday, marking the worst single-day performance for the stock since September 2020. The decline erased approximately $127 billion from Tesla's market value and significantly reduced Musk's net worth.
