Cybersecurity experts including the United Kingdom’s former cybersecurity chief are pouring cold water over Elon Musk’s suggestion that a large-scale cyberattack on his social media site X came from Ukraine.

Musk on Monday said X had been deluged by a “massive cyberattack" involving “either a large, coordinated group and/or a country.” The tech mogul and close ally of United States President Donald Trump later told the Fox Business channel that “there was a massive cyberattack to try to bring down the X system, with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area.”

But cybersecurity experts were quick to push back.
