X was hit by a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on Monday. Thousands of users were left unable to access the social media platform. A hacker group with alleged Russian ties, known as Dark Storm, has claimed responsibility for the cyberattack. The group’s leader announced the attack in a now-deleted Telegram post. The message boasted about taking X offline, with screenshots showing widespread connection failures across multiple locations.
