The social network X experienced intermittent outages due to a massive DDoS attack. Initially, a pro-Palestinian group called "Dark Storm Team" claimed responsibility. However, further analysis revealed that the attacks originated from Ukrainian IP addresses, though experts cautioned that IP addresses alone are insufficient to accurately determine the attackers' true origin. The attack exploited vulnerabilities in some of X's origin servers that were not properly secured behind Cloudflare's DDoS protection. X has since addressed these security lapses.
