The social platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has suffered a significant DDoS attack. The pro-Palestinian group Dark Storm claimed responsibility for the attack, but Elon Musk, the platform's owner, accused Ukraine based on the detection of IP addresses from that region. However, these IP addresses could belong to unwitting victims incorporated into a botnet. The details of the attack and the responsibilities remain to be clarified.
