Putin: "You're not supposed to get Twitter, you idiots!"
Would this technically count as a false flag?
I have no idea.
False flag. Put the blame on ukraine. pressure them harder.
trump, putin and muski are so transparent
Musk probably did it to himself to muster support
We sure it wasn't just incompetence?
I seem to remember X basically DDoSing themselves with their rate limit changes, so no not sure at all
I'm not, outages and mistakes happen all the time (especially when your boss is an overbearing asshole, causing mistakes to be swept under the rug out of fear instead of corrected).
An asshole who fired half the people and then any remaining worked who could find a different job, did. Leaving only extreme loyalists and people unable to find a better job.
Yeah at this point I'm surprised you need to hack it before it'll stop working.
Maybe they should ask CISA to... oh.
The group responsible has already claimed responsibility.
Wouldn't surprise me if the agencies simply didn't have the manpower or competence to investigate it even with most of the work already done for them.
Multiple groups claimed credit for it.
Same as pretty much every Cyber attack.
Even when it's not a cyber attack, someone is going to claim credit.
It was the spirit of justice and fuck you.
Sounds like an inside job. Has anyone asked Adrian Dittman?
heroes, that's who
Anonymous woke up this week...
According to Anonymous it wasn't Anonymous but if it were Anonymous they wouldn't say it was, but Anonymous is also pretty splintered since a lot of them supported Trump and Israel while some supported the opposition.
EDIT: Anonymous has now claimed credit for the attack
Isn't their whole thing that anyone can be anonymous?
But anybody acting in a group with a name is not Anonymous, which would technically apply to the Anonymous group who hosted servers and official websites at one point, meaning Anonymous is not Anonymous. But some of Anonymous administrators and organizers were named, and were still recognized as Anonymous.
Its the same concept as Antifa: there are some well known people involved in groups but generally its just an umbrella term.
Antifa isn't an organization. It's a movement and concept. I think that's what so many people fail to understand.
As you say, there are people who are associated with it, but it doesn't have a headquarters per se.
Good.
I believe the cause was digital heroes.
Well, they should put Bigballs on the investigation, his expertise will solve it in the blink of an eye.
It was Russia lol, they are looking everywhere but there.
