In a now-deleted post on Telegram, a hacking group called Dark Storm Team claimed responsibility for the attack.

Do you think it really was a group in Ukraine, or do you reckon that’s bullshit?

    Except Russia uses X as a tool for disinfo, why would they attack “their own” infrastructure?

      It’s just a DDOS attack, it’s not like there’s lasting damage. It makes even less sense for Ukraine to attack Twitter than it does for Russia. This is all too fishy and real evidence needs to be brought forth. Musk is a pathological liar with an axe to grind. His words are worth less than shit.

        You didn’t think Ukrainians might be motivated to strike out at musk’s companies?

      Russia is the reigning champion of false flags.

      Their war against Finland, was premeditated on a false flag. They shelled their own town and claimed the finns did it Same against Poland. Although in that case I believe it was more of an opportunity to take advantage of the Nazis false flag in the Radio Tower incident that they used for their own casus belli

      Putins rise to power revolved around a false flag, he had the FSB bomb an apartment complex and kill a score of people, only to blame Chechens after the first Chechen war, to use as a rally round the flag power grab and justify the second Chechen war. The Russians LOVED him for murdering the fuck out of Chechens.

      And it was all a distant memory now, but the Ukraine invasion was started by a series of pathetic false flags. including but not limited to

      • an “assassination attempt” on a Separatist leader in Donetsk by blowing up a 40 year old low end "limousine’. (it was a regular car)
      • taking captured or knockoff ukrainian uniforms, and hastily spraypainting ukrainian camo patterns on their own vehicles since both sides used the same equipment back then, and making a fake go-pro video of Ukrainians invading Russia in early 2022.
      • blowing up their own military vehicles to lend credibility to the second point.

      *to be clear Im talking about the incidents that occured in late January and early Feb 2022, while the Russians were building up military forces and when they “recognized” the separatist states and formally moved their military into Ukraine, about a week before the shooting started, all of this was going on

      Russia has always been a gong-show of shitty and pathetic theatre and drama for the cameras/newspapers*

      Attacking your own assets to make it look like an enemy isn’t new. And attacks like this are nondestructive. They don’t actually lose anything by doing so. But some idiots will just assume that it couldn’t be anyone associated with the group being attacked.

        Even if they’re nondestructive, they are very effective in a conflict that Russia is already deadly at. Information war.
