Twitter has been Down, Up and again Down several times during the day. Elon Musk said that Twitter is facing a massive cyberattack. Pro-Palestinian cyberhacking group Dark Storm claimed the responsibility of hacking X/Twitter on Monday, March 10. X was facing intermittent outages according to Downdetector, restricting 11,745 users in the U.S. from accessing the platform, as of 1.46 pm ET. The number of outage reports rose to around 26,579 after falling briefly, user-submitted data on the outage-tracking website showed. A DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) attack is a cyberattack in which multiple compromised devices—often part of a \”botnet\”—flood a target server, website, or network with excessive traffic. The aim is to overwhelm the system, making it slow, unresponsive, or entirely inaccessible to legitimate users. While not always sophisticated, these attacks can cause major disruptions. X had been hit by several waves of Denial of Service attack (DDoS) beginning around 9:45 UTC, according to a source in the internet infrastructure industry.
