I was coming on this thread to say "Anonymous better claim this and come out of stasis..."
Your comment made my day!
Did they tho? I don't see anything on the site that claims this attack
"they will be removed"
🐸
The attack started when Musk acquired Twitter and laid off everyone who wasn't an asshole.
Some of the people who stayrd are h1b slaves who cant leave
I understand that it can be immensely scary to leave a job and if the acquisition happened a week ago I'd be more forgiving but... they've had enough time, H1Bs have exit clauses that, especially someone fleeing Twitter for ethical reasons, could have used to find an alternative sponsor.
I do fucking hate H1B exploitation, but folks have had long enough at this point that the excuses runneth dry.
I was on an H1 programme, but not for a green card. Just until the TNs were fixed.
But these exit clauses? Never heard of 'em. We lived in abject fear of fucking up to the point of being fired, as that meant a moving truck super-fast. We were glad we had a company that paid us at par and also kept us on when it had to downsize for daring to sue IBM.
I shudder at the people trapped at Twitter and what they must see daily.
they made sure that if your fired you will be deported, or if you stop getting sponsored or something. biotech also exploits visas too, but not too the extent of tech employers, making an already very hard industry to get into harder.(why do you think alot of scientists tend to be from the ME, INDIA or asia)
Most of the people involved in that cyberattack are wearing thigh high socks and cat ear headphones, and they’re much cooler than Musk would ever be.
What is "priaprism"?
I'll take "PP WORDS" for 600, Alex.
Having a janky wang doesn’t make Musk uncool in and of itself, lots of janky wang-havers are cool.
His insecurity about it, publicly, deprives him of any coolosity he ever could have had.
He is a man without potential or love.
The joke started out in my head as "stop, I can only get so hard!" And then I classed it up with medical terminology.
He in general underperforms in the coolness department. I have no interest in his man-noodle.
I had to look this up, and wow, the image on the Wikipedia article for priaprism is... well, it's something.
One hour too late. Smh
Isn't that the same picture they used for the article on Biggus Dickus?
elons botched surgery prevents him from getting an erection.
Good 😎
Imagine firing your entire IT team and then crying 'cyberattack' when the servers can't handle traffic.
🐱🐱🐱
I mean, they’re being DDOSed right now. But yeah, he fired anyone who would know how to mitigate a DDOS attack.
He can literally go and hire cloudflare to come in and help him fix it.
But I'm sure he needs someone experienced enough to manage that project.
Probably, but it wouldn't be all that easy. It would require him to intimidate a bank or get a personal loan. He has the asset weath required, but, especially with the recent Tesla failure, he'd be hard pressed to get an honest loan from a bank for fear that he'll run his finances into the ground.
Cloudflare is worth 40B, he certainly doesn't have anywhere near that much cash, his entire tesla holdings are around 100b and worth a lot less every day.
I wonder if, in his infinite costcutting wisdom, he removed "redundancies" in the twitter stack that wouldve helped it better withstand cyberattacks.
Twitter was never really good at that, but he did absolutely fire anyone that was responsible from preventing and recovering from failwhales
Musk right now...
twitter still has 28,000 users? and they're active enough to report the outage?
Where do i sign up and help fight the Musk troll..
Big oh no anyway vibes.
Twitter as run by Musk— There has never been a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Didn’t trump shut down cybercrime investigations?
only against russia.
All the more reason for russia to try a cyberattack?
It would be best if it does not come back up.
I hope that there are more to come;-))
Tragic. Just tragic.
Must be the great hacker collective: N_competence
Edit:
Well, butter my buns and call me a biscuit. It seems like he might not’ve been lying on this one account.Never mind. Looks like he is lying again.He's blaming it on Ukraine which sounds like a false flag. He'll use this as the reason he has to cut off Starlink to the country.
Ahh Fuck
Oh no... anyway...
Lmao good thing your boys got their hands on sensitive shit, huh?
Fucking amateur hour.
Why is anyone even still using that product?
It's a propaganda engine for propaganda consumers.
I never noticed until this picture how much X looks like two swords crossed. Hmmm.
Oh goody, Anon must be back.
Oh no
Don't care why it's down, but that's good news.
Oh no. Why is Musk attacking his own Twitter? LOL. Oh so he can blame it on Ukraine.
LOL.
