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.
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.

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".
"the messaging service X"
Yes but which messaging service?

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?
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.

I bet it's the US.
They're already starting the
Iranian sleeper cell terrorists!!!!
scaremongering in the press.
These kinds of reports in the media are the first step in a known pattern of priming and nudging to rally up the public for another war. -

It is a modified version of Mastodon, with a Soapbox front end. It does not have ActivityPub enabled and lacks a bunch of features.

SSDD? Same shit, different dictator - I like 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.
Doesn’t Truth Social run a super old custom modded version of Lemmy? That thing must have a ton of 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.
These 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.
