Live X outage: Twitter down due to ‘massive cyberattack’

It’s not just you. X is down (or, Twitter is down, if you prefer). In a real case of the Mondays, X has experienced multiple outages today, with thousands of users all over the globe reporting problems. Elon Musk has said it’s suffered “a massive cyberattack”.

The first huge spike of users reporting ‘X is down’ was at 2.30am PDT / 5.30am EDT, and while the service appeared to be back online, reports skyrocketed once again at 6.30am PDT / 9.30am EDT. Just when we thought everything was settling back down, further issues caused the longest period of disruption between 8.15am PDT / 11.15am EDT and 10.15am PDT / 1.15pm EDT.

Users are experiencing issues with both the X website and the X app. Some users are reporting the service was downright inaccessible; others complain about slow loading times.
