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?

    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?

        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.

              Or to put it another way, they didn’t even read a comment that is only 1 frigging line, before downvoting!!!

            I think it’s the “than that” is a little more complex of a construction that can be read over, and possibly missed. The sentence can be read with either of those missing, but if the “than” is missed it completely changes the meaning.

              But if you actually read the VERY short comment, it shouldn’t be ambiguous.
              Sad that people are so quick to downvote, without even reading a comment that is only 1 line!!

              • Doesn’t matter how short or long it is. People intentionally write simple short sentences all the time with extra words that like 90% misread. The easiest of of these sentences to make are those that happen to have a word repeat after a linewrap, especially short common words. Than and that are close enough to fit into that same overlook.

      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.
