More than 40,000 users reported they could not access X on Monday, according to data from tracking website Downdetector.com.

In a now-deleted post on Telegram, a hacking group called Dark Storm Team claimed responsibility for the attack.

Do you think it really was a group in Ukraine, or do you reckon that’s bullshit?

    Why do you write nah, and then come with an example that confirms how Russians do this routinely?

    Is there something ambiguous about my comment? That state it makes more sense that it’s the Russians.

      Probably skimmed fast and missed the “than”. Probably.

        Or to put it another way, they didn’t even read a comment that is only 1 frigging line, before downvoting!!!

          I misread comments all the time and sometimes reply based on the misreading. No ill intent, just my eyes playing tricks on me and skipping a word. Can’t imagine I’m the only one

      I think it’s the “than that” is a little more complex of a construction that can be read over, and possibly missed. The sentence can be read with either of those missing, but if the “than” is missed it completely changes the meaning.

        But if you actually read the VERY short comment, it shouldn’t be ambiguous.
        Sad that people are so quick to downvote, without even reading a comment that is only 1 line!!

          Doesn’t matter how short or long it is. People intentionally write simple short sentences all the time with extra words that like 90% misread. The easiest of of these sentences to make are those that happen to have a word repeat after a linewrap, especially short common words. Than and that are close enough to fit into that same overlook.
