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?
I’d say he is making up a reason to turn off Starlink for Ukraine.
Poland was paying for it and they openly said Musk actions mean they need to find a replacement
He’s going to “shut it off” when they cancel the contract.
Full on:
You can’t fire me, I quit!
💯
Deorbit or seize the whole thing.
Anonymous already claimed responsibility and I doubt they’d use multiple addresses from Ukraine, if any, honestly. He’s blaming them to further convince right-wingers that Ukraine=bad.
And to back this up they registered a domain for their “Operation Dreadnaught” on Feb 2. So it does show some premeditation instead of opportunistic attribution.
these people aren’t right wingers anymore. they arent conservative.
its fascists, collaborators, and traitors, who’ve convinced people they are conservatives.
I wouldn’t believe a word out of this known liars mouth without evidence. It makes little sense for Ukraine to bite the hand that feeds them, so to say. It could very easily be Russia trying to frame them. Evidence is necessary!
How would one find evidence if the user utilized a VPN?
You don’t DDOS through a VPN. The first D is for distributed, you do it from a multitude of devices, often hacked ones from a botnet. So DDOS attribution is hard. And if you want some scale you reflect the attack on some other machine that runs a service that allow for amplification, making attribution even harder.
Wouldn’t it make sense if it was a Russian group posing as being in Ukraine, to further divide the US and Russia? I mean the Russian ministry of truth is already hammering hard at that bond. How stupid can one be not to see that?
Except Russia uses X as a tool for disinfo, why would they attack “their own” infrastructure?
It’s just a DDOS attack, it’s not like there’s lasting damage. It makes even less sense for Ukraine to attack Twitter than it does for Russia. This is all too fishy and real evidence needs to be brought forth. Musk is a pathological liar with an axe to grind. His words are worth less than shit.
To play the victim card. When no real harm was done.
It would make more sense than that Ukrainians did it.
Nah. Russia has been running circles around America in the information war. In Clarissa ward’s on all fronts, she talks about investigating Russian troll farms in Uganda that specifically targeted African Americans and stoked things like the BLM movement, etc. there is a reason why America is so divided. It’s why Europeans have started shutting off these things during elections, etc
Why do you write nah, and then come with an example that confirms how Russians do this routinely?
Is there something ambiguous about my comment? That state it makes more sense that it’s the Russians.
Yeah I was half awake
😋
“It’s what anyone would do.”
Nevermind the group who took credit, he’s trying to drum up excuses to shut off Starlink in Ukraine.
It could also be China. It could also be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds.
Using basically any VPN that allows server selection or tor would allow anyone to look like their IP was from Ukraine.
Hi guys, I’m from Ukraine!
Article says it’s a DoS but probably means DDoS because nobody does just a vanilla DoS anymore (they’re easy to block). No VPN is going to let you use their service to do a DDoS, setting aside the technical and logistical problems for attempting it, it doesn’t really do anything useful for a DDoS.
DDoS attacks aren’t possible to IP trace, they come from a wide range of compromised devices forming a bot net that runs on IP blocks spanning multiple different areas all over the world, making them impossible to distinguish from legitimate traffic. The only way to catch who is responsible for a DDoS is to find the botnet’s control surface (usually something like an IRC channel) and gain access to it yourself. Not likely unless you find the malware that created the bot net and pull it apart looking for a reference to the control system.
TL;DR: Elon musk is full of shit there’s no fucking way he knows where this attack originated from based on IP addresses because it probably didn’t use one easily blockable and identifiable IP range.

Nothing brings dumb people together like a common enemy. It is Zelenskyy, someone told me. He had tears in his eyes and I heard it from his uncle’s cousin wife.
at this point, why believe someone who can’t differentiate 8 billion from 8 million?
reading numbers is not his strong suit.
The more I read about him the more I think he has no clue about tech.
Yay, and another one, welcome!
Musk doesn’t have a clue about anything technology. He claims to be worlds best engineer, but if you listen to him actually talk engineering since over a decade ago, it’s all vapid stupidity after stupidity
