Elon Musk’s social media platform X experienced a brief outage affecting thousands of users in the United States before services were restored.

At the peak of the disruption, more than 34,000 users reported issues, according to outage-tracking platform Downdetector. The number of reports later dropped significantly as the platform recovered.

Downdetector compiles user-submitted reports to estimate service disruptions, meaning the actual number of affected users may vary.

X did not immediately comment on the cause of the outage.

Hacker Claims Breach of Police Tip Data

A hacker has claimed to have accessed and stolen more than 8 million confidential law enforcement tips from a U.S.-based platform.

The attacker said they infiltrated P3 Global Intel, a service used by police, federal agencies and schools to collect anonymous tips, and extracted around 93 gigabytes of data. The breach was reportedly achieved through social engineering and a system vulnerability.

The claims have not been fully verified, though some reports suggest portions of the data may be authentic. Neither the company nor the FBI has provided an immediate response.

If confirmed, the breach could raise serious concerns about the security of sensitive reporting systems used by authorities, as well as the privacy of individuals who submit confidential information.

Stryker Cyberattack Delays Patient Surgeries

A cyberattack on medical device manufacturer Stryker has led to delays in certain patient surgeries, according to a report.

The disruption affected the company’s ability to deliver personalized medical inventory, forcing some procedures to be rescheduled. The issue stemmed from a broader system outage that impacted operations including order processing, manufacturing and logistics.

An Iran-linked hacking group claimed responsibility for the attack, which caused widespread business disruption. Stryker later stated that the incident had been contained and emphasized that no patient-care systems or connected medical devices were directly affected.

However, the delays highlight how cyber incidents can indirectly impact healthcare delivery, even when core medical systems remain operational.
