going after trump’s businesses will probably avoid a military response
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.
Yeah these are the dicks that cried terrorism when Tesla was "attacked"

Andrew Tated
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?

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"
I'm happy that the news over here has to continually specify "the messaging service X". Though I wish they would avoid potential confusion and also say "formerly known as Twitter".

I mean it does depend on the extent of the hack. But usually taking down the website, they don't take the databases or anything

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.
With any other president I’d agree but this is Trump. A venal and petty man who wouldn’t think twice before using the country’s soldiers and even nuclear weapons to defend his sense of pride

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.
That's cracking, not hacking. If you're going to be pedantic, be correct.

His administration says damage to Teslas equates to terrorism. I don’t think it would go how you’re thinking.

It feels weird to be in support of the goals of an Iranian hacker group.
Its like watching two shitty people have an argument.

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.

The only problem is that felon 47 isn't going to fight. Innocent americans are going to get killed and that disgusting psychopath is going to spit on their graves.

Yes but which messaging service?

It certainly had some Mastodon code but I think they sent them a C&D and they removed the it.

- 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.

He would have to even think about them to do that. I doubt the ground level costs of his actions and choices ever enter his mind in any real way.

What did Iran do? Seems like all the shitty is on one side.

Is It Mastodon?! For real? Does it have ActivityPub enabled and all of that?

Less AI generated garbage.
Things of negative value were lost

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.

Oh he thinks of them. He thinks of them as trash.
