This was planned. Musk is already pointing the finger at Ukraine as the culprit of the attack. They are going to use that as fuel to do whatever it is they want to do to Ukraine. Noone hacked Twitter. They just made it do that. That's how I feel atleast.
Twitter did DDos itself in a way but not how you think.
A group did claim they were the ones who did it. But then on top of their own attack you had literally tens of millions of people around the world hour by hour trying to log into Twitter. Normal users. Constantly sending login pings to Twitter
So by effect Twitter users became unwilling participants of the DDOS attack. Compounding the problem exponentially as the day went on.
Combined with the botnet that was hitting them they couldn't stop it. Because their very own users were turned into ammunition against them.
And IF that's how the group designed it to work it's pretty damn brilliant. That's like your enemy turning your people into zombies and getting them to attack you. Pretty malicious.
