On Monday, Twitter experienced multiple worldwide outages attributed to DDoS attacks by the Dark Storm hacktivist group. While not explicitly confirmed by owner Elon Musk, it is suggested that Twitter was the target of a 'massive cyberattack', likely due to political motivations by the pro-Palestinian group. Users were presented with a Cloudflare captcha due to the DDoS protections put in place. This incident caused significant disruption to Twitter's services, impacting users globally. The financial implications and potential loss of user trust could harm Twitter's reputation, albeit temporarily.
