Elon Musk: There is a 'massive cyberattack against X'
The X social media platform has been hit with a "massive cyberattack" that has prevented some users from accessing the site, platform owner Elon Musk confirmed on March 10.
"We get attacked every day, but this was done with a lot of resources. Either a large, coordinated group and/or a country is involved," Musk said.
Although user functionality was quickly restored, Musk implied that the attack wasstill ongoing.
There were more than 33,000 reports of X outages on March 10, according to Downdetector.
Musk confirmed the cyberattack in response to a social media user who detailed a series of attacks against the entrepreneur's interests, from protests against the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to vandalism of Tesla stores.
As NBC News reported, there have been at least 10 acts of vandalism against Tesla stores and vehicles, likely in response to the billionaire entrepreneur's involvement in the Trump White House.Crypto ETPs see fourth straight week of outflows, totaling $876 million
After posting record weekly outflows of $2.9 billion last week, crypto ETPs continued their downward trend, bringing the four-week total outflows to $4.75 billion, CoinShares reported on March 10.
While the pace of outflows slowed, investor sentiment remained bearish, according to James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares.
The analyst also suggested that the market has shown signs of capitulation.
Bitcoin (BTC) ETPs were the primary driver of outflows, accounting for $756 million, or 85% of last week's total. Short-Bitcoin ETPs also saw outflows of $19.8 million, the most since December
