Nation-state involvement is possible: While very less is known about the attack, despite a bunch of revelations, experts think a nation-state involvement is indeed possible.”X is under relentless cyberattacks: 24/7/365 and this is far beyond simple DoS attempts,” said Chad Cragle, CISO at DeepWatch. “While technical issues can occur, X’s engineers understand scalability and redundancy. This isn’t incompetence; it’s cyberwar hitting at full force. With Musk in the spotlight and political tensions at a peak, these attacks bear all the indicators of nation-state aggression.”Krassenstein, however, shared further alleged evidence to show Musk’s Ukrainian IP claims to be false. In a few chat screenshots shared, he could be seen asking Dark Storm about the Ukraine claim to which they said, “Elon Musk must provide evidence for his claim, and we will provide evidence for ours.””We can attack again. A stronger attack this time, not only on X but Tesla and others.” Dark Storm could be seen adding in the chat. Dark Storm Team is a hacktivist group reportedly founded in 2023, and is known for launching cyberattacks against entities they perceive as supporting Israel.
