Cyber Attack On Interview Between Elon Musk And Donald Trump There has been a cyber attack on the interview between Elon Musk and Donald Trump on the social network Xco Space. On Monday evening, there was a cyber attack on X’s space interview.
Musk, who is also the owner of X, and Trump, the former president of the United States and future presidential candidate, were scheduled to have an interview at 5 pm Pacific time. However, at that time there was a cyber attack in the space and there was a problem that the interview could not be seen.
When trying to join the space in X, the message “The space is not available” was displayed.
After the ban, the interview was done to bring Trump back to X and help his election campaign. It is said that the interview started about 42 minutes after the cyber attack.
A DDoS attack is an activity that disrupts services by flooding bot accounts on any platform and increasing traffic. Musk suspects that a person opposed to Trump may have carried out such an attack.
Earlier also in May 2023, X’s space was down due to abnormal traffic. At that time, Musk had an interview with venture capitalist David Sachs.
In 2021, Trump was banned by major social networks including X. After Elon Musk took ownership of X, Trump’s ban was lifted.
After the ban was lifted, Trump himself posted on X for the first time on Monday. He shared the interview between Musk and himself.
