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.

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.
