Vice President Kamala Harris‘ campaign cheered on a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) targeting X—a leading American company—on Monday, as it disrupted a conversation between former President Donald J. Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk.
DDoS attacks involve flooding websites with bogus bot or botnet traffic to sabotage their functionality or knock them offline altogether. The one on the Trump-Musk X space comes as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating a recent hack of the Trump campaign, attributed to Iran, in which internal emails were accessed.
Nevertheless, the Vice President’s team appeared thrilled that her leading election arrival—and a top U.S. business—were targeted again on Monday, trolling him on his Truth Social platform. Once their conversation concluded, Harris‘ team put out a statement sneering at Trump and Musk as “self-obsessed rich guys… who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024.”
