Security Alert: The zombie network that attacked Platform X yesterday is the same organization that targeted DeepSeek during the Spring Festival.

BlockBeats News, March 11th, according to the Qihoo 360 Xlab analysis, the large-scale network attack that caused three outages on the X platform is the same as the attack on DeepSeek during the Spring Festival, carried out by the Mirai variant zombie network named RapperBot, which belongs to an attack organization of a "professional thug" nature.

The Qihoo 360 Xlab found that the attack time coincided exactly with the X platform's downtime, mainly concentrated from 10 p.m. on March 10th to 2 a.m. on March 11th Beijing time. This zombie network is active year-round, attacking hundreds of targets on average daily, with peaks of over a thousand commands during the attack period. The attack targets are distributed in regions such as Brazil, Belarus, Russia, China, and Sweden. The scale and intensity of this attack were so great that they directly caused the X platform to experience three significant service interruptions on March 10th in Eastern U.S. time, with up to 20,538 users reporting malfunctions.
