Users report issues accessing site, app, and login page
X, formerly known as Twitter, has experienced multiple global outages over the past 48 hours, leaving users frustrated and raising concerns about the platform's reliability. The disruptions began on Thursday, and has affected core user functionalities such as logging in, viewing timelines, and accessing premium services.
Site status monitoring platforms stated that over 25,000 users in the United States and 10,000 users in India reported issues.
X’s engineering wing issued a statement on Saturday and said that the outages were caused due to a data centre malfunction. “We're still experiencing issues from yesterday's data centre outage. Login and signup services are unavailable for some users, and there may be delays in notifications and Premium features”, the statement read.
News outlets reported that the situation worsened after a fire broke out at an X data centre in Oregon, which required emergency response and may have contributed to the technical issues.
The platform recently faced severe outages as well, when hacker groups attacked the X data centres. A DDoS attack, conducted by hacker groups, disrupted X’s functionalities in March
