Thankfully only DDos. Truth Social is Mastodon so a security flaw could have been a real problem.
Is It Mastodon?! For real? Does it have ActivityPub enabled and all of that?

Less AI generated garbage.
Things of negative value were lost

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

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

- 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.
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.

Solid-State Disk Drive, it's a regular hard drive with the platters hot-glued to stay still

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.

That's right. The platters are heavy, and the reader head is light, so we just whip the reader head around at 7200rpm

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.
Innocent Americans don't wear the US fascist army uniform.
I will spit on their grave.So let the downvoting, bootlicking and whitewashing begin.
You'll have to be creative, not this tired garbage:

It uses Mastodon (ActivityPub disabled), and Soapbox-FE.

Yeah good thing the US respects women's autonomy and isn't being strangled by a fundamentalist religious movement that wants to force women to be nothing more than incubators, maids, and fuck toys....

The 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.
“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.

Good, now leak all the spicy dms.

This is the saddest good news I've ever read.

nah it's a lazy fork so seeing how he chooses people (they're either cheap or friends of friends or both) "truth" can easily have a totally new security issue
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.
They 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.
