Live X outage: Twitter is experiencing issues due to a ‘major cyberattack’.

      The first significant spike of users reporting ‘X is down’ occurred at 2:30 AM PDT / 5:30 AM EDT. Although the service seemed to have restored, reports surged again at 6:30 AM PDT / 9:30 AM EDT. Just when things seemed to be calming down, additional problems caused a lengthy disruption between 8:15 AM PDT / 11:15 AM EDT and 10:15 AM PDT / 1:15 PM EDT.

      Users are facing problems with both the X website and the X app. Some report that the service is completely inaccessible, while others are experiencing slow loading times.

      Issues with Twitter’s SMS two-factor authentication have arisen. Here’s how to change your methods.

      It may be prudent to review and alter your two-factor authentication methods for Twitter. Elon Musk’s Twitter has introduced yet another challenge for its users.

      Twitter is reportedly facing problems with its SMS two-factor authentication (2FA) feature. According to Wired, starting this past weekend, some Twitter users have encountered issues logging into their accounts due to malfunctions in the app's SMS 2FA feature. This feature depends on the app sending an authentication code via text message that users must enter as a second step during login.

      Twitter has apparently halted signups for Twitter Blue.

      The start of Elon Musk's ownership of Twitter has not been devoid of its struggles and disarray. Currently, the chaos surrounding Twitter shows no signs of abating anytime soon.

      In line with that, the latest update from Twitter is that new signups for the revamped $8-per-month Twitter Blue subscription have reportedly been suspended. On Friday, Forbes reported that new signups for Twitter's newly transformed Blue subscription seem to have been disabled, noting that users had not been able to enroll in the service for over an hour and highlighting that the option to sign up for Blue on the iOS app had vanished as further evidence of the suspension. The Verge also mentioned that while some users may still see the option to subscribe, they are met with an error message. One Digital Trends editor remarked that the sign-up option is simply absent from his iOS app menu, mentioning it has been this way “since at least 8 PM PT last night,” and he shared a screenshot.

      Twitter begins the rollout of new gray check marks only to remove them suddenly.

      While drafting an article about Twitter's initial rollout of a new gray check mark verification badge, we observed something unusual: Twitter accounts that had the new gray check marks just moments before suddenly lost them again. What occurred?

      Elon Musk seems to be the cause. Just hours after the newly acquired social media platform initiated the rollout of a new gray check mark to clarify which high-profile accounts were verified, these gray check marks began vanishing from various accounts, evidently at Musk's direction. Here's a look at a tweet exchange between web video producer Marques Brownlee and Musk.
