Experts contest Elon Musk's claim on cyberattack origin

On March 10, X, formerly known as Twitter, experienced significant outages due to a large-scale cyberattack. CEO Elon Musk claimed the attack originated from "IP addresses in the Ukraine area," but experts say identifying the true source is difficult. The attack is believed to be a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, which overwhelms servers with fake traffic. Analysts note that such attacks often use compromised devices globally, making it hard to trace their origin accurately. While Musk suggested a well-resourced group was behind the attack, experts indicate that X's servers were inadequately secured, contributing to the outage's severity. There is no evidence supporting Musk's claim about Ukrainian involvement.
