埃隆·马斯克将其社交媒体平台X的大范围中断归咎于一场“大规模网络攻击”,并声称此次攻击由某个“大型协同组织"或国家精心策划。
据监测网站Down Detector的数据显示,本周一全球数万用户报告X平台出现间歇性宕机。美国、英国、法国及印度等多国用户在不同时段遭遇无法加载问题,每次服务中断持续数分钟。
马斯克随后承认该平台经历了全站服务中断。他在X平台(前身为Twitter)发帖称:“我们每天都遭受攻击,但此次攻击动用了大量资源。”
亲巴勒斯坦的“激进黑客”组织Dark Storm通过其Telegram频道宣称对此次攻击负责,但未提供相关证据。该组织代表向彭博社表示,此次攻击是针对以色列的更大规模激进黑客行动之一。
X平台发言人未回应多次置评请求。
这并非马斯克首次将其社交媒体平台的服务故障归咎于网络攻击。去年,他曾以遭遇“大规模”网络攻击为由,推迟了与当时共和党总统提名候选人唐纳德·特朗普在X平台上的对话。
当时,他在毫无证据支持的情况下,将攻击描述为分布式拒绝服务(DDOS)攻击。DDOS攻击通过向目标网站发送超出其处理能力的网络流量,致使其服务器和其他业务过载瘫痪。 (财富中文网)

Elon Musk blamed widespread disruptions on his social media platform X on a “massive cyberattack,” which he claimed was orchestrated by a “large, coordinated group” or country.
Tens of thousands of users globally reported intermittent outages on X on Monday, according to the monitoring website Down Detector. New posts were failing to load for users in countries including the US, UK, France and India at various points throughout the day. The service disruptions lasted a few minutes each.
Musk later acknowledged that the platform had experienced a site-wide disruption. “We get attacked every day, but this was done with a lot of resources,” he wrote in a post on X, the site formerly known as Twitter.
Dark Storm, a pro-Palestinian ‘hacktivist’ group, took credit for the attack via its Telegram page, but has not provided proof that it was behind the disruptions. A representative for Dark Storm told Bloomberg News that the attack was part of a wider hacktivist effort against Israel.
A spokesperson for X did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
This isn’t the first time Musk has cited a cyberattack for disruptions on his social media platform. Last year, Musk similarly blamed a “massive” cyberattack for the delay of a conversation between himself and then-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on X.
At that time, he described the attack, without evidence, as a distributed denial-of-service, or DDOS, attack. A DDOS attack involves hackers flooding a site with more internet traffic than it can handle to overload its servers and other operations.
