If you had trouble using X today, you're not alone. DownDetector reports that over 5,000 people have reported issues accessing the social media platform as of 4PM ET. X's official Engineering account claims the issue is due to a data center outage. "X is aware some of our users are experiencing performance issues on the platform today," X's Engineering account writes. "We are experiencing a data center outage and the team is actively working to remediate the issue." The platform last experienced a major outage in March 2025, which X CEO Elon Musk blamed on a "massive cyberattack" at the time. Security researchers who looked into the issue later said it was poor security on X's part that left the company's servers vulnerable to attack. X is aware some of our users are experiencing performance issues on the platform today. We are experiencing a data center outage and the team is actively working to remediate the issue.— Engineering (@XEng) May 22, 2025 This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/social-media/x-is-experiencing-a-data-center-outage-204254880.html?src=rss
