I mean, they’re being DDOSed right now. But yeah, he fired anyone who would know how to mitigate a DDOS attack.
He can literally go and hire cloudflare to come in and help him fix it.
But I'm sure he needs someone experienced enough to manage that project.
I wonder if, in his infinite costcutting wisdom, he removed "redundancies" in the twitter stack that wouldve helped it better withstand cyberattacks.
Didn’t trump shut down cybercrime investigations?
only against russia.
All the more reason for russia to try a cyberattack?
I was coming on this thread to say "Anonymous better claim this and come out of stasis..."
Your comment made my day!
Did they tho? I don't see anything on the site that claims this attack
"they will be removed"
🐸
Most of the people involved in that cyberattack are wearing thigh high socks and cat ear headphones, and they’re much cooler than Musk would ever be.
What is "priaprism"?
I'll take "PP WORDS" for 600, Alex.
elons botched surgery prevents him from getting an erection.
Having a janky wang doesn’t make Musk uncool in and of itself, lots of janky wang-havers are cool.
His insecurity about it, publicly, deprives him of any coolosity he ever could have had.
He is a man without potential or love.
The joke started out in my head as "stop, I can only get so hard!" And then I classed it up with medical terminology.
priaprism
I had to look this up, and wow, the image on the Wikipedia article for priaprism is... well, it's something.
Isn't that the same picture they used for the article on Biggus Dickus?
One hour too late. Smh
The attack started when Musk acquired Twitter and laid off everyone who wasn't an asshole.
Some of the people who stayrd are h1b slaves who cant leave
I understand that it can be immensely scary to leave a job and if the acquisition happened a week ago I'd be more forgiving but... they've had enough time, H1Bs have exit clauses that, especially someone fleeing Twitter for ethical reasons, could have used to find an alternative sponsor.
I do fucking hate H1B exploitation, but folks have had long enough at this point that the excuses runneth dry.
they made sure that if your fired you will be deported, or if you stop getting sponsored or something. biotech also exploits visas too, but not too the extent of tech employers, making an already very hard industry to get into harder.(why do you think alot of scientists tend to be from the ME, INDIA or asia)
I was on an H1 programme, but not for a green card. Just until the TNs were fixed.
But these exit clauses? Never heard of 'em. We lived in abject fear of fucking up to the point of being fired, as that meant a moving truck super-fast. We were glad we had a company that paid us at par and also kept us on when it had to downsize for daring to sue IBM.
I shudder at the people trapped at Twitter and what they must see daily.
Good thing the US is lowering its cybersecurity forces. 🤦
twitter still has 28,000 users? and they're active enough to report the outage?
Where do i sign up and help fight the Musk troll..
Good 😎
Musk right now...
I hope that there are more to come;-))
Twitter as run by Musk— There has never been a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Why is anyone even still using that product?
It's a propaganda engine for propaganda consumers.
Big oh no anyway vibes.
I never noticed until this picture how much X looks like two swords crossed. Hmmm.
It would be best if it does not come back up.
Must be the great hacker collective: N_competence
Edit: ~~Well, butter my buns and call me a biscuit. It seems like he might not’ve been lying on this one account.~~ Never mind. Looks like he is lying again.
He's blaming it on Ukraine which sounds like a false flag. He'll use this as the reason he has to cut off Starlink to the country.
Ahh Fuck
Tragic. Just tragic.
Oh no... anyway...
Oh goody, Anon must be back.
Lmao good thing your boys got their hands on sensitive shit, huh?
Fucking amateur hour.
Exactly. Like toddlers with hand guns.
