Unclear from the article but, while a bit pedantic, this sounds more like it was potentially a DDoS attack rather than a proper "hack".
In an age where "willfully giving out your account password" is called hacking, here I'd call it tomato or tomato.

- 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.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

No, because I agree.

In order to launch a meaningful DDoS there must be thousands of compromised machines to use. I would absolutely say compromising such a large amount of machines is hacking.

A lot of DDOS attacks nowadays are from a DDOS for hire service.
So there could be hacking done, or just a bitcoin transfer.

It's absolutely hacking those computer, just not the site. I just don't want to get overly excited for something that doesn't have much meat to it.

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.

It seems like they just did us all a favor.

We have a president who issues fascistic edicts from the toilet and then phrases them like a Karen in her first term on her HOA or Condo board.

A little part of me makes me happy that Truth Social isn't even recognizable by name. It's "US President Donald Trump’s social media platform"

Would this count as a retaliation, which Trump warned them against?

Might be smart for Iran to just attack trump’s businesses as retribution for the bombings; if they attack the military, we’ll surely get pulled into another war, but just going after trump’s businesses will probably avoid a military response and maybe will make republicans come around to the fact that he should have divested himself from his businesses when he became president.

May just be the only thing that saves this country. Fewer people on social media is good for society at this point.

More likely, it makes the poor baby (-hands) cry and throw a tantrum. Being the malignant narcissist he is, he thinks the resources of the United States government are entirely at his disposal. With that in mind, he's absolutely going to demand a military response to any attacks on his businesses.
Whether saner heads prevail, all we can do is hope.
