I was coming on this thread to say "Anonymous better claim this and come out of stasis..."

Your comment made my day!

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

Did they tho? I don't see anything on the site that claims this attack

[-] tiefling 13 points 1 month ago

"they will be removed"

🐸

[-] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 92 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] DemBoSain@midwest.social 15 points 1 month ago

What is "priaprism"?

I'll take "PP WORDS" for 600, Alex.

[-] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] DemBoSain@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago

The joke started out in my head as "stop, I can only get so hard!" And then I classed it up with medical terminology.

[-] Evkob@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

priaprism

I had to look this up, and wow, the image on the Wikipedia article for priaprism is... well, it's something.

Fresco of Priapus, Casa dei Vettii, Pompeii. Depicted weighing his enormous erect penis against a bag of gold.

[-] LimpRimble@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Isn't that the same picture they used for the article on Biggus Dickus?

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

elons botched surgery prevents him from getting an erection.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 92 points 1 month ago

The attack started when Musk acquired Twitter and laid off everyone who wasn't an asshole.

[-] chilicheeselies@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

Some of the people who stayrd are h1b slaves who cant leave

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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)

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 41 points 1 month ago

Good thing the US is lowering its cybersecurity forces. 🤦

Imagine firing your entire IT team and then crying 'cyberattack' when the servers can't handle traffic.

🐱🐱🐱

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

I mean, they’re being DDOSed right now. But yeah, he fired anyone who would know how to mitigate a DDOS attack.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago
[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Mohamed@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

I wonder if, in his infinite costcutting wisdom, he removed "redundancies" in the twitter stack that wouldve helped it better withstand cyberattacks.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

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...

[-] TheWeirdestCunt@lemm.ee 22 points 1 month ago

twitter still has 28,000 users? and they're active enough to report the outage?

[-] ATDA@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

Big oh no anyway vibes.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Didn’t trump shut down cybercrime investigations?

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago
[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

All the more reason for russia to try a cyberattack?

[-] civil_drive@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago
[-] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 10 points 1 month ago

I hope that there are more to come;-))

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

It would be best if it does not come back up.

[-] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 9 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] normalexit@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Tragic. Just tragic.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Oh no... anyway...

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Why is anyone even still using that product?

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

It's a propaganda engine for propaganda consumers.

[-] Cephiroth@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Oh goody, Anon must be back.

[-] El_Azulito@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I never noticed until this picture how much X looks like two swords crossed. Hmmm.

[-] irish_link@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)
[-] Montreal_Metro@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Oh no. Why is Musk attacking his own Twitter? LOL. Oh so he can blame it on Ukraine.

LOL.

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Sounds like he fired too many competent ops people.
