More than 40,000 users reported they could not access X on Monday, according to data from tracking website Downdetector.com.

In a now-deleted post on Telegram, a hacking group called Dark Storm Team claimed responsibility for the attack.

Do you think it really was a group in Ukraine, or do you reckon that’s bullshit?

    Attacking your own assets to make it look like an enemy isn’t new. And attacks like this are nondestructive. They don’t actually lose anything by doing so. But some idiots will just assume that it couldn’t be anyone associated with the group being attacked.

      Even if they’re nondestructive, they are very effective in a conflict that Russia is already deadly at. Information war.
