Cyberattack on X Hit Servers Faulted for Lacking Key Protection

(Bloomberg) — A cyberattack that brought down Elon Musk’s X targeted servers that were insufficiently protected from malicious traffic, according to cybersecurity analysts.

Users of the social media platform faced intermittent outages through Monday, which Musk blamed on a “large, coordinated group” or country waging a “massive cyberattack.” He didn’t provide any additional specifics to bolster his claim.
