On March 10, 2025, X (formerly Twitter) suffered a widespread outage, leaving millions of users unable to access their timelines, post content, or use search functions. Elon Musk, the owner of X, blamed the disruption on a "massive cyberattack", stating that the scale and coordination suggested involvement from a well-resourced entity.
While technical issues have plagued the platform in the past, Musk’s assertion that this attack was "on a different level" has sparked debates about the platform’s security, the potential source of the attack, and its wider implications for global cybersecurity.
