Details: Musk stated that his company is “not sure exactly what happened” but suspects that a “massive cyberattack” was launched from IP addresses “originating in the Ukraine area”.
However, the threat researchers at Check Point Research revealed that the attack was claimed by the pro-Palestinian hacker group Dark Storm Team, Newsweek reports.
Over the past month, Dark Storm Team has successfully targeted critical infrastructure, including Los Angeles International Airport, the Port of Haifa in Israel and the UAE Ministry of Defence.
