Pro-Palestinian group claims responsibility for X outages

A pro-Palestinian group called Dark Storm has claimed responsibility for a cyberattack that caused outages on Elon Musk's social media platform, X, on March 10. Musk previously suggested the attack might involve a coordinated group or a country. Dark Storm, known for targeting NATO countries and Israel, announced its involvement via Telegram. The group shared screenshots to support its claim, but experts caution that proving responsibility for cyberattacks is complex and requires thorough investigation. While Musk linked the attack to IP addresses from Ukraine, experts emphasize that definitive attribution is challenging. They warn against making assumptions without clear evidence, as the true cause of the outages remains unverified.
