Musk says cyberattack targeting X originated from Ukraine region as platform suffers global outages

By Merve Aydogan

HAMILTON, Canada (AA) - US billionaire Elon Musk said Monday that a "massive cyberattack" on X, formerly known as Twitter, originated from the Ukraine region as users worldwide experienced major disruptions.

"We are not sure what exactly happened. But there was a massive cyberattack to try and bring down X system with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area," Musk said during an interview with Fox News.

Users started to report outages around 5:30 a.m. Eastern Time (0930 GMT), and while X was able to briefly restore service to most users just after an hour later, reports surged roughly three hours later, according to the DownDetector website.

X continues to be plagued by myriad problems including pages refusing to load, and timelines failing to reload.

The source of the hack remains unknown.
