Elon Musk revealed that the cyberattack which took down his social media app X on Monday seemingly originated in Ukraine.
His bombshell revelation came during an interview with Fox Business Network on Monday afternoon following repeated glitches with his site, which has been down for much of the day. ‘Well, we don’t we’re not sure exactly what happened,’ Musk began in the interview.
‘But there was a massive cyber attack to try to bring down the X system with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area,’ he shockingly revealed.
Musk confirmed earlier in the day that X has been targeted by a ‘massive cyberattack.’
However, the world’s richest man noted during the interview that the social media sight is now back up and running now.
The statement came after the platform has been down for users worldwide. Users have cited issues with the app and website since as early as 5:30am ET.
Musk shared on X that the hack involves so many resources that he believes it could only be the work of a ‘coordinated group’ or a foreign country.
