Odaily Planet Daily News: Qi An Xin Group released an article today stating that the initiator of the large-scale attack on X platform and the main zombie network that attacked DeepSeek during the Spring Festival are the same, and they are truly "professional fighters". Moreover, the attack time perfectly matches the downtime of X platform. The scale and intensity of the attack directly led to the paralysis of X platform three times. The Qianxin Xlab laboratory conducted a thorough analysis of this attack and disclosed the following key information: Firstly, monitoring has found that the zombie network used in this attack is the Mirai variant zombie network RapperBot, which belongs to the same group of zombie networks as the attack on DeepSeek during the Spring Festival in 2025. Secondly, the attack time coincides perfectly with the downtime of the X platform. Thirdly, botnets provide paid attack services and can be called "professional thugs". Previously, Elon Musk posted that X had suffered (and is still ongoing) a large-scale cyber attack. We are attacked every day, but this attack requires a lot of resources. It could be a large coordinating organization and/or a country involved, currently being tracked.
