What is DDoS attack? Cyber threat hits X before Trump’s interview with Musk

The highly-anticipated Donald Trump interview with Elon Musk ran into technical glitches as X (formerly Twitter) faced a DDoS attack.

The tech billionaire flagged the cyber attack saying, “There appears to be a massive DDoS attack on X. Working on shutting it down. Worst case, we will proceed with a smaller number of live listeners and post the conversation later.”
