Massive disorders at X: Users report access problems!

The social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, is currently affected by a fault that frustrated numerous users. As Saxon reports, users report difficulties in the content of both the app and the app Website. These disorders are not new; As early as March 10, 2025, there was a massive failure, also according to Elon Musk, which was due to a cyber attack. The problems seem to move in greater continuity that has repeatedly occurred in October 2022.

A large number of user reports have shown that the problems have increased especially in the past few days. Users reported connection problems, which occurred in particular in the iOS and Android app. Tagesschau adds that Elon Musk speaks of a massive cyber attack that was apparently carried out by a significant, probably state-funded group or nation. These attacks contain so-called DDOS attacks that lead to thousands of users have no access to the platform.

Review of previous disorders

The platform has experienced a number of significant failures. In December 2023, for example, there were over 70,000 complaints from users because no postings could be displayed. Another huge problem occurred in March 2023, when technical difficulties led to the fact that news could not be called up and pictures could not be invited. These disorders are not only due to technical defects, but also to the personnel savings on the part of Musk, which has released 30% of the workforce. According to Saxon contributed.

The users are encouraged to take various measures to remedy the error, such as restarting devices, deleting the app cache or updating software in order to remedy the problems independently. These technical difficulties come at a time when the sales of X should be halved, which has a negative impact on the lust for investors and the advertising revenue.

The context of the cyber attacks
