Fuck it, take down the entire internet
It's been tried. A huge percentage of the internet runs on Amazon web services... And a massive ddos attack on that barely bumped it beyond the level of holiday shopping.
To get anywhere on "taking down the internet" they'd probably have to physically take out many sites across the globe.
"accidentally" leaving an anchor dragging across an intercontinental internet cable would do it
Russia is working on it just support Russia. /s
Lol. Lmao, even
I'm still at a loss for words thinking that any real human people joined truth social. We really failed as a species...
Equally upsetting. The site is truthsocial.com not truth.social
Someone should buy truth.social and make it redirect to something trump's base hates.
Like Wikipedia?
Annoyingly, already registered
I'm thinking it might have some comedic value and if you're trying to beat the stock market..
Is this how we find out that Truth Social was running even harder on hopes and dreams than 4chan was?
It feels weird to be in support of the goals of an Iranian hacker group.
Its like watching two shitty people have an argument.
"let them fight."
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.

Thankfully only DDos. Truth Social is Mastodon so a security flaw could have been a real problem.
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$$$"
This is the saddest good news I've ever read.
Is It Mastodon?! For real? Does it have ActivityPub enabled and all of that?
It is a modified version of Mastodon, with a Soapbox front end. It does not have ActivityPub enabled and lacks a bunch of features.
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.
I wonder how much of it is vibe coded at this point....

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

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.
Social Engineering is hacking cmv.

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.
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.

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
