Cybersecurity experts including the United Kingdom’s former cybersecurity chief are pouring cold water over Elon Musk’s suggestion that a large-scale cyberattack on his social media site X came from Ukraine.
Musk on Monday said X had been deluged by a “massive cyberattack" involving “either a large, coordinated group and/or a country.” The tech mogul and close ally of United States President Donald Trump later told the Fox Business channel that “there was a massive cyberattack to try to bring down the X system, with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area.”
But cybersecurity experts were quick to push back.
Nobody that is even vagualy familiair with how internet works knows Elon can’t know where the attack is coming from. Cirtainly not so quickly.
Even if somebody only leveraged their botnet in Ukraine it could be his next door neighbour beeing the actual puppetmaster.
Origin IP’s mean zilch.
But ofcourse the people to whom he is Jesus himself will just gobble that conjecture up like it’s mama’s paella.
