MUSK: A sophisticated cyberattack from Ukraine took out Twitter's servers

REALITY: Twitter's servers were not secured properly and were publicly visible

Great explainer here from @lhn.bsky.social

Meanwhile Musk lies again as another group claimed responsibility. God knows who is looking at our data or selling it...now they have private equity firms trolling through it.

And if the attack was from Ukraine? Gotta love them even more!!
Elon Musk enthusiastically shows himself to be a clear enemy of all freedom loving people throughout the world.

The thing that makes Elon dangerous isn't his money, even though that's pretty bad, it's that he actually believes he's some kind of super genius. He's not. He's a mediocre white guy like the rest of us.

Well it's both right? Plenty of people believe they're super geniuses. It's the money that allows him to be super destructive to the rest of us

It should be noted: One researcher from a prominent firm, who requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak about X, noted that they did not even see Ukraine in the breakdown of the top 20 IP address origins involved in the X attacks.

If Ukrainian IP addresses did contribute to the attacks, though, numerous researchers say that the fact alone is not noteworthy.

“What we can conclude from the IP data is the geographic distribution of traffic sources, which may provide insights into botnet composition or infrastructure used,” Zayo's Edwards says. “What we can’t conclude with certainty is the actual perpetrator’s identity or intent.”

It is perfectly plausible that Russia could have initiated the botnets to attack X. It is ironic, because this is basically a "no win" for Ukraine: No matter who it comes from, Elon wants to see Ukraine burn.
