Pro-Palestinian hackers, working anonymously under the name RipperSec, claimed credit for a cyber-attack on Elon Musk‘s live interview with Donald Trump [last] week.
And a major cybersecurity firm said the hack included a ‘highly targeted operation, specifically aimed at Donald Trump’s personal Twitter [X] account’ alongside its assault on the pair’s livestream, sowing chaos for their X ‘Spaces’ interview Monday.
Though one London-based expert told DailyMail.com he would take the firm’s claims ‘with a pinch of salt for now’ — the murky nature of these technical difficulties during the interview has raised the specter of US election’s increasing digital vulnerability.
Since June, for example, the FBI has pursued a quiet investigation into alleged Iranian hacking of both Republican and Democratic presidential campaigns.
‘Rippersec is a pro-Palestine hacktivist group who conducts DDoS attacks motivated by geopolitical events,’ digital security writer CyberKnow posted to X.
‘The group like many hacktivist groups also thrives off attention,’ the writer warned, ‘making it easy for them to claim this to improve credibility and reputation.’
But researchers with XLab, the cybersecurity research and threat analysis wing of China’s cybersecurity firm QAX, believed they had unearthed real evidence to the contrary — laying out their case for a confirmed DDoS attack in a post Wednesday.
