They demand the launch of Starlink in Sudan
A hacking group known as Anonymous Sudan was able to disrupt social networking site X (formerly Twitter) in more than a dozen countries last week, the BBC reported. In this way, they decided to put pressure on Elon Musk to launch his Starlink satellite Internet service in Sudan.
According to the BBC, X experienced an outage lasting more than two hours due to a DDoS attack, which affected tens of thousands of users. A DDoS attack involves overloading the server with excessive requests, making the site virtually unavailable. Downdetector, a site that tracks service outages, has logged nearly 20,000 outage reports from users in the US and UK.
Hackers published a message addressed to Elon Musk: “Application + website + internal system is not working. All X (Twitter) is completely disabled. Get our message across to Elon Musk: Launch Starlink in Sudan.”
X did not publicly acknowledge the failure, and Elon Musk did not respond to the message addressed to him.
