Could a Cyberattack Be the Real Reason Behind the Livestream Delay

  • Resumen

  • Elon Musk attributed a delay during a livestream with Donald Trump to a potential cyberattack. The livestream, which started over 40 minutes late, may have been affected by a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, according to Musk. He noted that the platform had been tested for high traffic but opted to continue with fewer viewers and planned to release the audio afterward. Cybersecurity expert Lisa Plaggemier explained that DDoS attacks involve multiple compromised systems overwhelming a server, resulting in disruptions for websites and applications. These attacks can lead to significant downtime and financial losses for businesses. While the specific cause of the delay remains unconfirmed, Plaggemier highlighted that DDoS attacks commonly disrupt livestreams. High-profile entities such as financial institutions and media companies frequently experience these attacks, with thousands reported daily. This incident reflects ongoing challenges X has faced with its livestream feature.
