X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, was hit by widespread outages on Monday morning, leaving many users unable to post or see new posts.

The outages were reported by users along the East Coast, in New York and Boston, and on the West Coast in Los Angeles.

Elon Musk, X's chairman, revealed that the outages were caused by a "massive" cyberattack involving "a lot of resources."

The cyberattack was so severe that Musk promised to "trace" the origin of the attack, suggesting that it may have been carried out by a large, coordinated group or even a country.

More than 40,000 people reported the app was not working for them on Downdetector.com, a site that tracks when platforms are knocked offline.

X's website was also affected, with intermittent glitches reported by users.

The outages were not isolated to a single region, with users across the world impacted.

Downdetector shows the disruptions in X's services began late on Sunday, impacting users across the world.

The heat map on the watchdog's website shows the outage also affected users in India, cutting off access for a long time.

The services were not entirely down, with several users reporting they were able to access X on mobile phones and other devices via web browsers.

Elon Musk said X was hit by a massive cyberattack done by "either a large, coordinated group and/or a country."

Dark Storm, a hacker group that supports Palestine, claimed responsibility for the purported cyberattack, sharing screenshots of their doing in a Telegram group chat.

X was down for nearly a day in the second week of March, with outage reports touching 40,000 globally, marking one of the most severe disruptions in X's history.

Users of Elon Musk's X app reported outages on Monday morning, making it difficult for them to access their feeds.

The outages were first reported on Downdetector.com, a site that tracks when platforms are knocked offline, at around 6:30 a.m. ET.

More than 40,000 people reported the app was not working for them, with most of the outages being reported from users along the East Coast, in New York and Boston, and on the West Coast in Los Angeles.

The outages were not limited to the app, as users also reported issues accessing X's website.

The platform was back up and running for some users as of 10:45 a.m. ET, but others continued to experience difficulties.

Elon Musk said the outages were the result of a "massive" cyberattack, which he claimed was done with "a lot of resources" and may have been carried out by a large, coordinated group or a country.

The outage was not the first time X has experienced issues, as Musk previously said the platform was hit by a series of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.
