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 work in tech and I hate it when non-security people talk about it.

It's really painful to read about "a new hack that can affect billions of accounts" from a source, only to learn its some new social phishing method.
