Do they have vulnerabilities and or security loopholes in organisation as big as twitter too ? Or is Ddos that big that they simply overwhelmed every security that was in place.

They've shut down redundant data centers, fired countless engineers. They've slimmed down into a more efficient, cheaper service that can't handle curve balls, but at least the website is overrun with neo-fascist morons.

They’ve had countless failed livestreams since Musk took over too.

I guess that's what happens when you lay off most of your workforce.

if you lay off most of your workforce, hacker groups will target you for DDoS?

DDOS attacks are constant on the internet. Your staff is in charge of protecting your computers from DDOS.

If you fire your staff, it no longer becomes possible to keep your site up in the face of attacks.

Don't forget the data showing that as many as 1 out of every 3 users on X is now a bot
