“Massive Cyberattack Against X” (Formerly Known as Twitter)

This is, quite literally, the war on free speech – not deporting a violent terrorist.

Yesterday, many of us could not access X (formerly known as Twitter), the only source for uncensored news.

Pro-Palestinian hacker group Dark Storm Team officially took responsibility for the attacks.

The group primarily targets Western entities, including those in the United States, Ukraine, the UAE, and Israel.

Elon Musk reveals shocking reason X is down today

By: The Street, March 11, 2025:

The social media world is buzzing today as users react to the fact that X has been down. While the platform is currently accessible, it has been down for most of the day, with users claiming they are unable to access it.

Enough users have regained access for #TwitterDown to start trending on the platform, although that is no longer the social network’s name. Down Detector reports that an outage spiked this morning between 5:30 AM and 6:30 AM ET.

Although X seems to have been mostly restored now and is currently accessible, questions are rising about what caused this unexpected blackout. Elon Musk recently offered context.

Elon Musk has an answer for the X outage

The social media world hasn’t experienced a major network outage of this magnitude since the Meta Platforms (META) blackout of 2021 during which Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp were inaccessible for hours.

While the X outage seems to be over, the dust is still settling from the unexpected meltdown which included “ two more prolonged spikes, denoting more significant outages, later in the morning.”

At roughly 1:25 PM, Musk provided an answer to the question many users were likely asking. Responding to a post that speculated X had been attacked, Musk cites “a massive cyberattack against X” as the reason and implies that it is still going on.

“We get attacked every day, but this was done with a lot of resources,” he states. “Either a large, coordinated group and/or a country is involved.”
