Trump social media site brought down by Iran hackers
-
Iran is known for its barbaric treatment of women who refuse the forced muslim dress code. They are a equally corrupt government. No good people involved at the upper levels. SSDD.

Or they just found a buffer overflow bug on their border router/firewall. I can't imagine Truth Social has a keen network engineering team keeping up to patching and vulnerabilities.

A lot of DDOS attacks nowadays are from a DDOS for hire service.
So there could be hacking done, or just a bitcoin transfer.
schrieb am 23. Juni 2025, 17:37 zuletzt editiert von frederiknjs@lemmy.zipThese DDOS for hire services make use of hacked machines as botnets to perform the DDOS attacks.
So while the people paying for the service didn't hack anything, the people performing the DDOS certainly did.

It is a modified version of Mastodon, with a Soapbox front end. It does not have ActivityPub enabled and lacks a bunch of features.
schrieb am 23. Juni 2025, 17:53 zuletzt editiert vonThe Mastodon developers then formally requested that Truth Social comply with the terms of the software license,[75] with Truth Social publishing its source code as a ZIP file on the website on November 12, 2021.
Lol they actually complied with the license in the end, i didnt know that.

It feels weird to be in support of the goals of an Iranian hacker group.

What a joke. Any kid with a credit card can unleash a ddos attack on a website.
An irrelevant website none the less. If that pile of shit goes down then the entire world benefits.

- Hours after the US airstrike on Iranian territory, Iranian-backed hackers took down US President Donald Trump’s social media platform.
- Users were struggling to access Truth Social in the early morning following the alleged hack.
- As the US continues to insert itself into the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, the US government believes more cyberattacks could happen.

Thankfully only DDos. Truth Social is Mastodon so a security flaw could have been a real problem.

maybe the server has a root password that's "trump454748$$$"

Hacking a Social Media profile --> Tearing down a poster
Hacking a Website --> defacing a facade
If the blinds arent closed by or a window is left open by accident, some information could get out. If the doors arent locked, the attacker could get access to further information.
schrieb am 23. Juni 2025, 18:06 zuletzt editiert von isokiero@sopuli.xyzThey didn't hack anything. Just your plain old DDoS attack which took the service offline for a while, nothing was (at least based on what I read) actually hacked (or cracked as old-school folks like me would like it to be called) or stolen.

The literal hasbara operative excuse to excuse them for genociding those misanthrophic barbarian Palestinians.
Really, you're all so boring and unimaginative.
Must be tiring defending the many many warcrimes from USSA/pissrahell.
Glad you're getting youe ass kicked and turning into Gaza yourself, it warms my heart. -

schrieb am 23. Juni 2025, 18:17 zuletzt editiert vonWhile there are religious extremists in Iran, their level of influence on Iranian culture is not anywhere near what you’re saying. You’re just repeating western propaganda.
They did have a controversial new dress code law that was supposed to go into effect at the end of last year, but it was blocked for being to extreme and vague.
However, my state just forced a brain dead woman to incubate a baby against the family’s will. So I’m inclined to agree with those saying the religious extremists exercise greater control in the US than Iran, and by your standards that means they should bomb us. Because I guess you think killing people is equal to freeing them.

That's cracking, not hacking. If you're going to be pedantic, be correct.
schrieb am 23. Juni 2025, 18:23 zuletzt editiert vonHowever you want to phrase it, they're very different problems with different solutions.
"Someone picked the lock on my door and got into my house" is meaningfully distinct from "Someone stole my keys".

schrieb am 23. Juni 2025, 18:48 zuletzt editiert vonNot really. Most people around the world are pretty much in the same boat. The "leaders" of governments try to propagandize differences, but everyone is living the same shitty existence. Elites vs poors across the globe. Occasionally you get groups that are extremely radical, but it's not specific really to any country (We see a lot of out of the ME and Africa mostly due to prolonged Colonial abuse, admittedly.)
