When Hackers Go Rogue: X’s Monday Meltdown 🤯

by

Oh, what a glorious Monday it was! 🎉 X, our beloved social media platform, decided to take a little vacation…unannounced, of course. 😳 Users around the globe were left staring at error messages, wondering if they somehow offended the internet gods. 🙏

Well, guess what? A hacker group with more drama than a Real Housewives reunion, Dark Storm, proudly raised their hands and said, “We did it!” 🙋‍♂️ And yes, they have alleged ties to Russia because why not add a little intrigue to the mix?

This wasn’t just your average prank. It was a full-blown DDoS attack, leaving thousands scratching their heads and refreshing their feeds like mad. 😲 But fear not, because functionality was restored quicker than you can say “cybersecurity breach.”

According to SpyoSecure, Dark Storm’s boss made a bold announcement on Telegram, only to delete it faster than a regrettable drunk text. 📲 Screenshots of the attack, however, are still making rounds online like a never-ending game of digital hot potato.

Ed Krassenstein, a man of many hats including NFT marketplace co-founder, claims he chatted with the leader of Dark Storm. 🗣️ Apparently, they’re all about flexing their muscles, not pushing any political agendas. Sure, buddy.

But wait, there’s more! Dark Storm has a history of targeting NATO countries and is rumored to have a soft spot for Palestine. 🌈

And then there’s Elon Musk, who confirmed the attack with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. 🚒 He traced the hackers’ IP addresses to the “Ukraine area,” because specifics are overrated.

As if the cyberattack wasn’t enough, we’ve got a political firestorm brewing too. Tesla facilities across the land have become protest central, thanks to Elon’s DOGE and its controversial mission to streamline government. 🤔

Musk has pointed fingers at five activist groups for stirring up the pot, but hey, who doesn’t love a good conspiracy theory? 🤫
