Once, after X left for several hours, security researchers throw cold water in Elon's public comments about who can be behind the DDOS attack. On Monday, when X was still trying Mask said in that the site was shot down by a “massive cyber end”, made by a “large, coordinated group and/or country.” Later on the same day, in With Fox News, He said that the attack included “IP -adresses taking place in the region of Ukraine.”
He never provided evidence for one claim. But in the new report Security researchers proposed a completely different look at the attack. Security experts surveyed by the publication said that they saw little evidence that the Ukrainian IP -adresses played an important role in the DDOS attack, and one researcher said that the country was not even in the 20 best countries of origin.
The report also assumes that, despite the statement of Musk, it was associated with “many resources”, X perhaps unintentionally left his systems susceptible to the DDOS attack, as the one that occurred on Monday. “X Origin servers who are responsible for web checks were not properly provided with the protection of Cloudflare DDOS and were publicly available,” – Wired Writes. “As a result, attackers can be aiming directly on them. X has since fixed the servers. “
It is noteworthy that this would not be the first time that Musk accused the uncertain “cyber” when I was faced with the embarrassing failure of X. Last year, musk “Mass attack of DDOS” to break the planned direct broadcast with Donald Trump, who at that time ran for the presidency. Mask never explained how the DDOS attack can reduce only one feature on the site. He later said that there was no such attack.
X did not answer the request for a comment.
