Oh really it was Ukraine that took down X on March 10? Not so fast.

Independent security researchers found evidence that some X origin servers were not properly secured behind DDoS protection, and researchers noted they did not even see Ukraine in the breakdown of the top 20 IP address origins involved in the attacks. wired.com/story/x-ddos-attack- #X #Musk #DDoS #cyberattack #cybersecurity #security #Ukraine #BotNet #Internet

No, Elon — X DDoS was NOT by Ukraine

#X marks the botnet: #Outage outrage was a Ukrainian cyberattack, implies our favorite African billionaire comedy villain.

The social media platform formerly known as #Twitter went offline earlier this week. It was swamped by wave after wave of distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS). Now-owner #ElonMusk (pictured) has been telling everyone the #DDoS traffic came from Ukraine.

O RLY? That’s “garbage,” say experts. In #SBBlogwatch, we never stopped calling it Twitter.

"The social network X suffered intermittent outages on Monday, a situation owner Elon Musk attributed to a “massive cyberattack.” Musk said in an initial X post that the attack was perpetrated by “either a large, coordinated group and/or a country.” In a post on Telegram, a pro-Palestinian group known as Dark Storm Team took credit for the attacks within a few hours. Later on Monday, though, Musk claimed in an interview on Fox Business Network that the attacks had come from Ukrainian IP addresses.

Web traffic analysis experts who tracked the incident on Monday were quick to emphasize that the type of attacks X seemed to face—distributed denial-of-service, or DDoS, attacks—are launched by a coordinated army of computers, or a “botnet,” pummeling a target with junk traffic in an attempt to overwhelm and take down its systems. Botnets are typically dispersed around the world, generating traffic with geographically diverse IP addresses, and they can include mechanisms that make it harder to determine where they are controlled from.

“It’s important to recognize that IP attribution alone is not conclusive. Attackers frequently use compromised devices, VPNs, or proxy networks to obfuscate their true origin," says Shawn Edwards, chief security officer of the network connectivity firm Zayo."

WIRED · What Really Happened With the DDoS Attacks That Took Down XBy Lily Hay Newman

This is NOT a good thing; and there's a big stinky rat here. I very much question the combination of "pro-Palestinian" and "Russian geopolitical interests" in the same sentence. If this is actually a Russian threat actor, then it's attacking Moscow's allies. If this is a "pro-Palestinian" threat actor, then expect more mass punishment against Palestinians, whether you're guilty or not. Things being the way they are, I am very suspicious about the origins of this group.

The last time something like this came up, it turned out to be a bunch of Kenyan kids paid to disrupt humanitarian aid to Palestinians while pretending to be pro-Palestinian. What are the odds?

It's important to note what Orange Cyberdefense says about DarkStorm: "Although seemingly pro-Palestinian, their actions also appear aligned with Russian geopolitical interests" orangecyberdefense.com/global/

"A pro-Palestinian hacktivist group claimed responsibility for the attack, providing evidence to back their claims.

I've been working on an automated triager for the frequent volumetric DDOS we see against www.bbc.com & www.bbc.co.uk.

The idea is to use our edge access logs (stored in BigQuery) to isolate & describe the attack traffic then recommend any additional mitigations/filters etc. It also gives us a database of DDOS metrics/sources we can reference.

Obviously I had to add the obligatory pew-pew map.

Dark mode map of the earth with an overlay of circles denoting the source countries for a recent DDOS. The circles are varying sizes, larger indicate more traffic from that country. USA, India, Indosia, Vietnam & Germany have the largest circles & thus the larger sources of attack traffic though there are around 50 source countries in all.
