cause of the disorder?
The problems at X could be related to a fire in a data center in Oregon, USA. This incident occurred on Thursday and affected a room with batteries. Although X answered no inquiries about this incident, there were complaints about the accessibility of the service, which were described as low before the current disruption. The exact connections between the fire and the current problems are unclear.
users report long -term difficulties, especially with the mailbox for private messages. So far, however, these reports have not been verified. The short message service X, operated by Elon Musk, has also had to deal with technical problems in the past. According to Musk, a major failure in March was attributed to a cyber attack, the origin of which was suspected in Ukraine, which was questioned by cyber security specialists.
background information on failures
Technical disorders in data centers are not unusual and can have many causes. Inefficient cooling, power failures or human failure are common reasons for such failures. Especially with large services such as X that act worldwide, a single incident can have far -reaching consequences, since the systems are extremely complex and often have to be supported by several redundant systems. Further information on Datacenter failures is provided at Computer Woche.
In view of the current situation, it remains to be seen how X will react to the disorders and whether the users will soon be able to access the service unhindered.Details | |
