A DDoS attack recently struck X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. This major cyber incidence has indeed created a havoc in the global user ecosystem.

DDoS: This is short for Distributed Denial-of-Service. It’s a technique to inundate a network or website with an array of traffic from various machines.

It's an attack that came in multiple waves, the first starting early in the morning.

Elon Musk cited the attack as a major cyber event but was slow to confirm the nature of it. He cited links to Ukraine, which would level up state sponsorship.

X faced a massive DDoS attack affecting millions of users around the globe around that time.

Who, if anyone, is responsible for the DDoS attack is a controversial subject.

The DDoS attack on X also points to the growing problem of digital threats.
