Cybercriminal group announces plan to attack elon musk’s companies throughout april
Hackers are targeting Elon Musk in a bold and coordinated campaign, threatening to bring down his most high-profile websites over the course of an entire month.
The hacking group, known as DonRoad Team, has publicly claimed responsibility for the attacks.
They stated that they will continue their cyber offensive throughout April.
The group is believed to have previously targeted websites associated with Donald Trump, and now they are setting their sights on tech giant Elon Musk and his business empire.
Tesla, SpaceX, and X—Musk-owned companies—are seen as high-risk target
While the hackers have not released a complete list of intended targets, experts warn that Musk-owned companies such as Tesla**, SpaceX, and X are at significant risk.
This wouldn’t be the first time the platform X has faced disruption. In March, the platform experienced an outage that prevented many users from accessing their accounts.
Although it’s unclear if DonRoad Team was behind the incident, the pattern of attacks raises serious cybersecurity concerns.
Following the outage, Musk acknowledged the cyberthreat, posting on X: “We get attacked every day. There was a massive cyber attack to try to bring down the X system with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area.”
