Prof Martin - former head of the UK's National Cyber Security Centre -wholly unconvincing and pretty much garbage. It's not that sophisticated - it's a very old technique I can't think of a company of the size and standing internationally of X that's fallen over to a DDoS attack for a very long time

Dang paywall. I wondered if Elon didn't do it himself so he could blame Ukraine

Oops they did it again. The American people are happy to take refuge in the #darkstorm

I don’t care what happened to Musk, his companies or his slimy X. I just hope it was bad! 😏🖕🏼🖕🏼

Always with that stupid shit-eating know it all, smirk. He is enjoying torturing American Veterans, retirees, lifelihoods. Fuck you, Elon Musk! You and your juvenile delinquent dogers. I Hope you all fucking DIE in Gitmo or in America! Shove it up your ass, Trump, you and your magas! Hang them all!✊

This micro-dick drug addict needs to be removed forcefully from any contact with US politics. Send him back to South Africa and ban him from any US contracts. He is a threat to Americans!

Look at the moron who not only is fucking US, but also fucked his companies!

Point the finger or advance a sloping palm at them?

Or,Musk's own employees were sick of his threats to US & world freedoms,his lies,anti-worker rights/disrespectful bullshit.Shit happens.It's my hope that in the ensuing AI,raging oligarchy rush towards world domination,that people can & should prevent their dehumanization plans before it's too late.

Gay Valimont stands with Ukraine. She needs volunteers to help canvass in Florida, and for people who can't go, to help make phone calls to Democratic voters. Help any time this month. Election is April 1st. Flip the House!

I saw a video from Anonymous earlier stating that everything Musk was doing has created backchannels for them to go after him & others. Can't blame Ukraine...they're too busy trying to stay alive.

“Independent security researcher Kevin Beaumont and other analysts see evidence that some X origin servers…weren't properly secured behind the company's Cloudflare DDoS protection and were publicly visible. As a result, attackers could target them directly. X has since secured the servers.”

I worked with a Kevin Beaumont years ago, but he wasn't a security researcher nor really on that trajectory.

fascinatorfun.bsky.social•13 days ago

But Prof Ciaran Martin IS an expert and appears to agree

gellyfish.uk•13 days ago

Oh I agree too. A DDoS is relatively easy, especially if your target has lax security, the making it look like someone else is doing it is the tricky part.

H/t @alan2210.bsky.social for this link

Prof Ciaran Martin, Oxford University and Ex Head of U.K. Intelligence Cyber Security says Musk’s Ukraine suggestion is “garbage” and the problem lies with Musk’s own poor cyber security

And he’s got his people working on air traffic control systems.

Well he sacked a huge number of tecchies, didn’t he, when he bought Twitter. This is the result. I imagine that before long we’re going to see equivalent breakdown emergencies in all 4 corners of the American economy.
