On March 10, 2025, users of the social media platform X faced major disruptions, with the service experiencing a massive cyberattack that left thousands of users unable to access their accounts.
The attack, which began early in the morning, disrupted the platform’s normal operations for hours. By mid-morning, reports indicated that nearly 40,000 users were impacted by the outage.
Elon Musk, the owner of X, immediately pointed the finger at potential sources based in the “Ukraine area.” His claim suggested that the attack might have been carried out by a group or even a nation-state with ties to the region.

However, experts have urged caution, explaining that tracing the origins of such cyberattacks can be tricky. Masked IP addresses and sophisticated techniques often make it difficult to pinpoint exact sources.
This attack comes at a time when Musk has been vocal about advocating for peace negotiations in the ongoing Ukrainian conflict. This has raised some eyebrows, with critics wondering if the attack might be connected to Musk’s recent stance on the war. Musk has not elaborated further on the potential motives behind the attack.
As investigations into the origins and impact of the attack continue, the situation remains fluid. X’s technical team has been working tirelessly to restore normal service and prevent further disruptions. With the platform now facing increased scrutiny and challenges, it is uncertain how this incident will affect Musk’s business moving forward.
