US EditionX Outage—Again: Thousands Briefly Report Issues With Elon Musk’s Platform
- On Friday, just before 3 p.m. EDT, over 56,000 users reported issues accessing X, according to DownDetector, an outage tracking site that relies on user reports.
- These reports marked the second consecutive day of user-reported issues on X, with over 10,000 users reporting outages on Thursday.
- Around 2:49 p.m. EDT, the number of reports peaked at approximately 56,361, with 58% indicating problems with the X app, 35% related to the website, and 7% concerning server connection.
- Elon Musk previously attributed similar issues earlier in the month to a massive cyberattack originating from IP addresses in the Ukraine area, suggesting a large, coordinated DDOS attack, though Cliff Steinhauer of the National Cybersecurity Alliance cautioned against jumping to conclusions without further evidence.
- Neither Elon Musk nor X provided immediate comment regarding the outage, leaving the specific cause and broader implications uncertain.
