- 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.
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.

It seems like they just did us all a favor.
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.

There's usually an element of that with cracking passwords. Even if you just try and pick a good wordlist for a target you're already engaging in a way. The more you know about them the shorter the wordlist. And if you spend enough time getting to know shit about them you can reduce the wordlist to one entry because they told you the password. In a way. It's not necessarily a completely different process is my point.

Value gained, actually.

Yeah agreed, he’s absolutely going to demand a military response to any attacks on his business, but maybe that’s enough to divide the republicans in congress and they’ll start to rein him in. Still going to take a lot for them to develop the balls to stand up to him, but might be good for us if Iran just goes after his businesses.

Unclear from the article but, while a bit pedantic, this sounds more like it was potentially a DDoS attack rather than a proper "hack".
313 Team is an Arabic-interest hacker collective, aligned with Iran, Palestine and Iraq, they reportedly used a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack against Truth Social.
The article seems pretty clear to me. Maybe it was updated?

Less AI generated garbage.

You can argue it's a classic ID-10T error in your workflow.
But nobody has discovered a security vulnerability within the system architecture. This is the system operating as designed, abet with the wrong person standing in front of the terminal.

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

That's called a PICNIC - Problem In Chair Not In Computer.

Andrew Tate's site was based on some OSS software that they didn't credit (in violation of the license) and was an old version with known vulnerabilities. Which is why it got hacked.
I don't know if Truth Social is in the same boat, but it's possible. I think I heard it's just Mastodon with federation turned off? Or am I thinking of some other crappy alt-right site?
